A Winter Solstice Gathering
A celebration of stillness, warmth, and the returning sun
As the longest night of the year approaches, we are invited to pause, honor the darkness, and turn inward. Breathe Into Light is a day-long Winter Solstice gathering designed to hold space for reflection, renewal, and gentle celebration — a sanctuary where you can reconnect with yourself, the rhythms of nature, and the returning light.
What am I ready to release as the light returns?
Event Highlights:
Hatha Flow Yoga &
Morning Herbal Tea Workshop & Ceremony
Elemental Breathwork Session with Falen Reid
Grounding Sound Bath
Nourishing Winter Stew with Seasonal Root Vegetables & Sourdough Bread
Guided Forest Meditation Walk
Journaling, Sharing Circles & Candle Lighting Ceremony
The day begins with journaling and a sharing circle, offering a quiet space to release what no longer serves you and set intentions for the season ahead. Move into a grounding Hatha yoga practice, guided by Diana, to awaken the body, enliven the senses, and invite presence and balance.
During morning snack, immerse yourself in Stacey Johnson’s herbal tea workshop and ceremony, creating your own personalized tea blend while exploring the restorative wisdom of seasonal herbs. This gentle pause nurtures both body and spirit, preparing you for the deeper experiences to come.
Next, join Falen Reid for Elemental Breathwork, a transformative session combining breath, movement, guided meditation, and restorative sound bath. This experience offers a profound release, cultivating clarity, calm, and a renewed sense of inner peace.
Enjoy a nourishing winter stew with seasonal root vegetables, served alongside fresh sourdough bread, allowing the body to savor warmth and grounding.
What intention do I wish to carry into the new season?
In the afternoon, step into a guided forest meditation walk, connecting with the quiet beauty of winter and the soft returning light. The day concludes with a candle lighting and intention-setting ceremony led by Diana, allowing you to seal your reflections and intentions with sacred presence, warmth, and celebration.
This Winter Solstice Gathering is open to all who are ready to step into a day of stillness, warmth, and soulful renewal.
