Winter Solstice Ceremony

Join Jaclyn and Jennifer for a night of ceremonial intention setting as we move into the darker half of the year honoring the season of winter. We will create a spiral walk and move some of the energy out of the body, as well as experience a meditative sound healing journey to accompany us as we go into our inner most selves.
Spiritual and Symbolic Meanings
The winter solstice has always been interpreted as a time of reflection and spiritual renewal across cultures. In many traditions, it symbolizes the cycle of death and rebirth, a concept echoed in the natural world as the darkness of winter gives way to the light of spring.
For ancient cultures who were entirely dependent on the seasons for survival, the solstice was a time to honor their almighty force nature and express gratitude for the promise of longer days.
Many people observe it as a time to set intentions for the coming year, release old patterns, and embrace new beginnings, even more so than during New Year’s Eve. The solstice invites us to pause, reflect, and find balance—qualities that are especially valuable in the fast-paced world we live in.
Lessons from the Solstice and our Longest Night
The winter solstice teaches us to embrace the cycles of nature and the inevitability of change. Just as the Earth tilts back toward the Sun after the solstice, we too can find renewal and growth in our own lives (and in our gardens)! We encourage you to pause to celebrate the winter solstice, through ancient traditions, modern rituals, or quiet reflection. Keep in mind this truth: even in the depths of winter, the seeds of spring are already taking root. The solstice encourages us to find beauty in stillness, hope in darkness, and strength in the promise of brighter days ahead.
So this year, as the longest night unfolds, take a moment to pause and connect with the world around you. Light a candle, reflect on your journey, and celebrate the cycle of life. The winter solstice is not just an astrological event; it is an invitation to embrace the light within and around us, illuminating the path forward into a new season.
