Winter Solstice
The winter solstice has long been honored in ritual as a sacred turning of the wheel—a time of reflection, renewal, and quiet hope. It marks the longest night, when the veil of darkness folds gently around us, as well as the first subtle returning of the sun’s light.
In this ancient darkness, we are invited to pause. To descend inward. To enter the hidden chambers of the heart where the unseen roots of our becoming rest. Here, we gather the creative forces that dwell in the fertile dark—waiting, dreaming, gestating what is yet to come.
December 21st, through mindful movement, guided meditation, and journal writing, we will journey together through the cycles of nature as they live within us. We will honor the gifts of the dark and call forth the promise of the returning light—awakening balance, wisdom, and renewal within ourselves.
Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, journal and a creative piece ( does not need to be a original) that speaks to the dark of winter.
December 21st at 7-8:30 PM
