A sacred, magical, powerful gathering and honouring for the longest night - 'Return to the Light'.
Join us for an afternoon of grounding, reflection and renewal for an intimate Winter Solstice ceremony with nature and sound designed to help you slow down, soften and honour the turning of the seasons.
Together we will release what the year has carried, reconnect with our inner light, and welcome the return of longer days with a heart opening ceremony.
The afternoon, FULL of carefully curated threads of nourishment and joy, include:
* Opening Circle
* Community
* Breathwork to arrive
* Intention Setting
* Creating Solstice Altar together
* Solstice Wisdom and Reflection
* Guided Releasing Ritual
* Forest Bathing Nature Immersion
* Restorative Sound Bath with Crystal Bowls
* Herbal Tea
* Vegan Sweet Treats
* Closing Share
This is a calming, nurturing space held with care, and oodles of love - perfect for anyone seeking grounding clarity, and a sense of renewal during the darkest point of the year.
The session will come to a close with a seasonal drink and some vegan sweet treats.
