SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Join us in sacred candlelit celebration of the longest night of the year — a turning point where stillness gives birth to light. Our Winter Solstice Gathering weaves together ritual\, movement\, sound\, and community in a warm and luminous evening.\n\nOur gathering will begin by turning inward through a guided meditation to honor the closing of one cycle and prepare the spirit for the returning light. We open to nature & one another through galdor\, an ancient vocal blessing offered to the plants that will steep into our shared tea ceremony — an invocation of release\, gratitude and renewal. From this gentle opening\, you’ll be guided into yin yoga accompanied by live violin\, inviting deep rest and reflection beneath the winter’s quiet sky. Between stillness and sound\, Winter Solstices will be shared — tales to stir the heart and honor the season’s introspection.\n\nAs the evening draws to a close\, we’ll gather for a charcuterie and cocktail social hour\, connecting in conversation and celebration of light’s return.\n\nDate: Saturday\, Dec 20\, 6:30-9pm Duration: 2 hours of ceremony and yoga\, followed by a 30-minute social hourLocation: Anahata Wellness Co-opWhat to bring: A yoga mat\, bandana or light cloth to cover the eyes\, cozy layers\, and an open heartInvestment: $50 Space is limited to 22 participants.\n\nYour GuidesErica Miller\, inSpirit healing arts & yoga\, offers her love in meditation & yin yoga.Natalie Brown\, Sounds Heal Studio\, shares her gift of the violin.Sarah Thompson\, Starlight Yoga\, guides us in the ancient blessing of galdor.Shiva Sundari Matthews\, Mandala Collective\, weaves delight through Winter Solstice tales.\n\nCome to honor the dark\, to welcome the light\, and to celebrate the beauty of transition together.
