Into the Wonderland: Honoring Winter Solstice

This is your invitation to return home to yourself. You can hear the call. It may be speaking in a whisper (or a scream) in the middle of the busy holiday season, while you're wrapping up the end of the year...

It says "How are you honoring the changes of the seasons within you?"

"How are you listening within?"

Indeed this is a powerful time of going inwards to be nourished, healed and find the answers we need most. All the doing can feel out of alignment-- leading to exhaustion, burn out, and emotional instability.

Not the best way to begin the new year. (wink wink)

Winter solstice is an opporutnity to come back to spirit, come back to the source of your being. The darkness speaks in silence, and the stillness of this day has the power to transform you, and illuminate what's been veiled inside.

Join us for a very special Winter Solstice Wonderland ceremony to consciously begin your new chapter. With sacred rituals, you'll carve out much-needed quiet to drop in to yourself in sisterhood. You'll find the quiet spark, the light within that is brewing something mysterious and magical, something that is perfectly you.

In this circle you'll get embodied through breath work, somatic movement and a walking meditation to our Winter Solstice Mandala at a glorious mountain vista. You'll nourish your heart using authentic raw authentic raw cacao directly from Mexico, and make offerings in a fire ceremony. (Note: wear comfortable walking shoes)

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just curious about ceremony magic, you're welcome here. No prior experience needed.

** Dinner included - homemade Ayruvedic soup, seed bread, and nourishing goodies.

Each circle is a ceremony, led with the highest intention and energetic support for the healing of all gathered. Circles are unique to the energy of the month and may include practices such as: meditation, breathwork, mindful movement, journaling, open sharing, discussion on the month's astrology, intention setting, offering of prayers and song.

Honoring the feminine life force within by harnessing the lunar energies, our moon circles empower, inspire and motivate women in arenas including personal growth, relationship, work, creativity, fertility and motherhood.

*All are welcome. No prior experience needed.
