“After the longest night, tomorrow we sing up the dawn. There is a rejoicing that, even in the darkest time, the sun is not vanquished. As of tomorrow, the days begin to get longer as the light of day grows. While the gentle winter sun slowly opens its eyes, let us all bring more light and compassion into the world.” (― Dacha Avelin)

WINTER SOLSTICE PRACTICE

w/ Linda Meacci

December 21, 2022
6:30pm - 8:15pm
In studio or Live Online

Winter Solstice Season is a natural time to slow the rhythm down, pause, listen to ourselves and place our attention on recognizing our Inner Light. As we embrace ourselves more fully - the light, shadows and what happens in between, we open ourselves to the intelligence of our own Life Force and our desire to evolve as human beings and spiritual beings. It’s a long journey - for lifetimes possibly.

Winter Solstice offers us the possibility to remember who we are becoming.

One may ask: “What am I ready to see more clearly in myself?” or “What do I recognize about these moments that are different than before?”

In this Winter Solstice Practice, we go on a journey of slow, steady movement, giving space for our rhythm of Brahmana (expansion) and Langhana (deep settling). We explore and co-regulate our nervous systems through asana (shapes and postures), creative movement, transitions, sound and rest. There is also time to listen to meaningful solstice music and messages. This isn’t a complicated practice, but a profound one!

This practice is open to everyBody! Accessibility is important, we hope you agree!

Join yourself and the collective community to usher in the Winter Season.
