Join us in sacred candlelit celebration of the longest night of the year — a turning point where stillness gives birth to light. Our Winter Solstice Gathering weaves together ritual, movement, sound, and community in a warm and luminous evening.
Our gathering will begin by turning inward through a guided meditation to honor the closing of one cycle and prepare the spirit for the returning light. We open to nature & one another through galdor, an ancient vocal blessing offered to the plants that will steep into our shared tea ceremony — an invocation of release, gratitude and renewal. From this gentle opening, you’ll be guided into yin yoga accompanied by live violin, inviting deep rest and reflection beneath the winter’s quiet sky. Between stillness and sound, Winter Solstices will be shared — tales to stir the heart and honor the season’s introspection.
As the evening draws to a close, we’ll gather for a charcuterie and cocktail social hour, connecting in conversation and celebration of light’s return.
