Hammock Time offers a peaceful way to escape and unwind in nature. As we approach the Winter Solstice on December 21st—the longest night of the year—we invite you to join a special session dedicated to reflection, rest, and welcoming the return of light.
We often talk about the seven types of rest—physical, mental, emotional, social, creative, spiritual, and sensory. Hammock Time helps you explore these through nature-based rest, bringing balance and renewal during this season of stillness.
What You Can Expect in the Winter Solstice Session:
✨ Welcoming in the Woodland: You’ll be greeted in our quiet woodland space, surrounded by the calm of winter. Take a moment to immerse yourself in the peaceful surroundings as the sun sets.
✨ Grounding Meditation: We’ll begin with a grounding meditation, attuning to the earth’s natural rhythms and the reflective energy of the Winter Solstice. Feel a deep connection to the stillness, honouring both the darkness and the light ahead.
✨ Hammock Rest in the Solstice Stillness: Settle into your hammock with a cosy pillow and blanket. This is your space to deeply relax, cradled by the quiet of the forest. The solstice night brings a special calm, encouraging reflection and a gentle letting go.
✨ Immersive Nature Experience: Let the soothing sounds and scents of the winter woodland calm you. Here, you can release tension, reconnect with yourself, and enjoy the grounding effects of forest bathing.
✨ Reflection and Journaling: After a restful hammock time, journal prompts will be available to explore themes of darkness, light, and intention-setting for the season ahead. Reflect on what this transition means for you and the new light you wish to welcome.
✨ Solstice Fire Ceremony: Gather quietly by the fire for a personal moment of release. Write down anything you wish to let go of, and when you’re ready, place it in the flames. There’s no need to share; simply watch as the fire carries away what no longer serves you, making space for new growth in the coming season.
✨ Tea Service to Close: We’ll finish with a warm cup of tea, allowing you to savour this peaceful transition into winter and gently ease back into your day.
