As the darkest day of the year arrives, we gather in community to remember the light that lives within us. “Thriving in the Darkness” is an immersive experience co-facilitated by Travis Preston and Liz Disterhoft, designed to support heart-centered living during a time of cultural pressure, holiday stress, and collective intensity.
We begin with ceremonial cacao and breathwork to soften the body, open the heart, and reconnect with the spark of a life that feels meaningful and alive. From this grounded place, we turn inward to remember the sacred gifts we each carry—even in seasons where the world feels heavy or demanding. Together we explore how to bring those gifts forward with intention and integrity, accessing inner wisdom that supports our joy, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.
This is a day to slow down. To listen. To return to what matters. To feel supported and seen. To honor the turning of the wheel and the medicine of the solstice—the invitation to thrive even when the world around us grows dim.
Join us for a restorative, heart-centered experience of presence, community, and soul nourishment.
Cacao
A heart-softening / opening aphrodisiac plant medicine (Non Psychedelic) that helps one connect into the intimate parts of their heart, soul, and true intentions. Creating intimate containers and sacred spaces for a softening of the hearts walls for deep access into self recognition, realization, and self-love.
Breathwork
You will be guided on a journey of breath and visualization to help activate the senses and intentions of tapping into your own personal seed of light and power. Using breath we will navigate the inner landscape taking us deeper and closer to that shining light within to bring it back home into our everyday lives.
Fire Ceremony
A place where that seeded light comes to life and support can surround us. We will gather in community surrounded by the fire and our collective lights to access deeper understanding and integration from our day to help support integration and taking it home with us.
