Our opening ritual is a simple orange and clove pomander — made in the same way many of us learnt in primary school. This is a slow, mindful activity designed to ground you in the present moment while softly reconnecting you to feelings of warmth, safety, and childhood magic. As your hands work, your nervous system begins to settle. There’s no rush, no right or wrong way — just a gentle invitation to land in your body, the space, and the season. This ritual helps anchor us into Winter Solstice energy: calm, cosy, reflective, and quietly magical. Sharing is optional. You’re welcome to sit quietly and take this time just for yourself.?: 01:00 PM - 01:55 PMYin/Yang YogaHost: Caroline CherringtonInfo: Next, we’ll move into a gently held Yin and Yang yoga practice with Caroline Cherrington. Caroline was the perfect choice to guide this part of the ritual. I’ve been practising yoga with her for several years, and her teaching beautifully blends both Yin and Yang styles in a way that feels supportive, grounding, and accessible. We’ll begin with Yang yoga, a little more active and warming, helping the body to release built-up tension and settle into movement. From there, we’ll slowly transition into Yin yoga, with longer-held, restful poses that invite softness, surrender, and deep release. This practice is designed to mirror the energy of Winter Solstice: moving from doing into being, from effort into ease. All levels are welcome. You’re always encouraged to listen to your body and rest whenever you need.?: 02:00 PM - 02:55 PMCacao Ritual & Guided MeditationHost: Penelope SilverInfo: This is not a traditional or formal cacao ceremony. While I’ve not received training around ceremonial cacao, what we’ll share here is something much simpler and more personal. I love cacao for how grounding, warming, and heart-softening it feels, and over time, I’ve created a gentle ritual that helps people slow down and arrive fully in the moment. We’ll each have a mug of warm cacao, and I’ll guide you through a calm, accessible meditation to help anchor you into the here and now. The cacao acts as a sensory support — its warmth and taste helping the body and mind settle more easily. Cacao is often associated with feelings of openness, clarity, creativity, and gentle focus, without being overstimulating. Many people find it supportive for reflection and intention-setting. There’s nothing to do and nowhere to go. You’re simply invited to sit, sip, breathe, and be. ?: 03:00 PM - 03:55 PMCrystal Bowl Sound HealingHost: Lisa RisteInfo: This part of the afternoon is a chance to fully rest. You’ll be invited to lie down or sit comfortably while Lisa plays crystal singing bowls, allowing the sound and vibration to wash over you. Sound healing is often experienced as deeply calming for the nervous system. Rather than needing to “do” anything, you simply listen. Many people find that the tones help quiet the mind, release built-up tension, and create a sense of spaciousness and ease. The vibrations from the bowls can feel soothing and grounding, helping the body shift out of busy, thinking mode and into a more restful state. Some people drift into a meditative or dream-like space, while others simply enjoy a moment of stillness and calm. There’s no right way to experience this. You’re welcome to rest, close your eyes, or gently observe whatever comes up for you. This is a passive, nurturing part of the ritual - designed to support deep relaxation and integration before we gently move towards closing the afternoon.?: 04:00 PM - 05:00 PMGentle Closing, Integration & Optional SharingInfo: The final part of our Winter Solstice ritual is about gently coming back round after the day’s experiences. Rather than finishing abruptly and rushing off, we’ll allow time to re-centre, ground, and integrate everything you’ve experienced. This is a soft landing - a chance to settle before stepping back into the outside world. You’re welcome to share reflections from the day if you’d like, but there is absolutely no pressure to speak. Quiet presence is just as welcome. Herbal teas and light festive snacks will be available, and you’re invited to journal if you’d like to note down any thoughts, feelings, or insights that have surfaced. I’ll also be offering optional oracle card readings for anyone who feels drawn to them - a gentle, reflective way to close the afternoon. This final section is unhurried, calm, and flexible. You can sit quietly, chat softly, journal, or simply enjoy a cup of tea as you prepare to leave feeling steadier and more grounded. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alderley-edge/winter-solstice-ritual-a-gentle-half-day-reset-for-calm-clarity/100001977630502068 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, meditation, christmas, workshops, nonprofit, yoga - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 84.13, max: 84.13, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Alderley Edge - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: ØNE aesthetic studiø - **lat**: 53.3013468 - **long**: -2.2373724000000266 - **full address**: ØNE aesthetic studiø, 12-14 South Street, Alderley Edge, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: WINTER SOLSTICE RITUAL – A Gentle Half-Day Reset for Calm + Clarity - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/0b395e9d491774ea6f555178149f30a86bcdafdeacc425c9e9e013dbfd1dce51-rimg-w1200-h593-dc5e3215-gmir.jpg?v=1765898907 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is WINTER SOLSTICE RITUAL – A Gentle Half-Day Reset for Calm + Clarity being held? - **A:** WINTER SOLSTICE RITUAL – A Gentle Half-Day Reset for Calm + Clarity takes place on Sun, 21 Dec, 2025 at 12:00 pm to Sun, 21 Dec, 2025 at 05:00 pm at ØNE aesthetic studiø, 12-14 South Street, Alderley Edge, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for WINTER SOLSTICE RITUAL – A Gentle Half-Day Reset for Calm + Clarity? - **A:** Tickets for WINTER SOLSTICE RITUAL – A Gentle Half-Day Reset for Calm + Clarity are priced at GBP 84 per person.
