January Hearth Circle – The Month of Renewal

🎉 JANUARY 2026 🎉

(use to light candle/chalice)

In this new year, we open our hearts to renewal,

Welcoming fresh starts and gentle hope.

We gather together, letting go of what is past,

And setting intentions for the days ahead.

We choose to support one another with patience and kindness,

Trusting that every sunrise brings another chance to grow.

May our home be filled with peace and possibility,

And may we carry the spirit of renewal into all we do.

As we extinguish this flame, we remember that new beginnings are always possible.

May we carry courage when we feel uncertain,

Gentleness for ourselves and others,

And hope for the journey ahead.

Even when the path feels unclear,

May we trust in the promise of renewal.
