The 13 Nights
A midwinter reflection companion. December 21–January 2 prompts that repeat yearly so you can see how you've grown.
What are the 13 Nights?
The period between the Winter Solstice (December 21) and the end of the Twelve Days of Christmas (January 2) has long been considered a liminal, magical time—when the veil is thin and reflection runs deep.
In Rooted, we offer 13 nightly prompts during this window. Each prompt invites you to reflect on the year that's ending and the one that's beginning—with compassion, curiosity, and honesty.
The magic? The prompts repeat every year. This means you can return to the same questions annually and witness how you've changed, what you've released, and what you've become.
Same Prompts, Every Year
Answer the same 13 questions each December/January. Compare your responses year over year to see your growth and transformation.
Liminal Time
This darkest, quietest time of year is perfect for introspection. Reflect on endings, beginnings, and the threshold between them.
Track Your Growth
See how your answers evolve over the years. Notice patterns, celebrate progress, and recognize how far you've come.
Gentle & Private
No pressure, no judgment. Skip nights if needed. Your reflections are completely private and belong only to you.
When does it happen?
The 13 Nights run from December 21 (Winter Solstice) through January 2 each year.
You'll receive one prompt per night, and you can answer them at your own pace. If you miss a night, no worries—the prompts remain available throughout the period.
Optional Daily Reminders
Want a gentle nudge each night? You can opt-in to receive daily email or SMS notifications during the 13 Nights period. Completely optional—you control the frequency and delivery method in your notification settings.
