Description
A candlelit ritual for deep rest, renewal, and finding your inner glow.
As the world outside settles into the year's longest night, take a gentle step away from the holiday rush and into this warm, quiet space. Illuminate is your invitation to an intentional pause—a sanctuary designed to deeply nourish your body, settle the mind, and reconnect you to the enduring flame within.
This immersive Winter Solstice workshop is a blend of comfort and ceremony, weaving together soft movement, myth, and meditation to honor both the stillness of the season and the precious light beginning its slow return. Guided by the soft glow of candlelight and the support of nurturing long held and massage based hands-on adjustments, you'll be guided through a gently layered practice designed to soothe your nervous system and restore inner harmony.
Inside Your Solstice Sanctuary:
* Slow, Somatic Movement: Gentle, intuitive motions to truly release held tension and settle comfortably into your body.
* Deep Rest & Restoration: Melt into supportive restorative postures, enhanced by consent-based, comforting hands-on adjustments for a profound sense of ease and embodied trust.
* Candle Gazing (Trataka): A traditional, focusing practice to steady the mind, quiet the mental chatter, and awaken your inner warmth and light.
* Guided Solstice Reflection: A peaceful meditation to gently acknowledge what you're ready to release from the past year and lovingly welcome the light ahead.
We'll complete our time together with calming herbal tea, quiet connection, and a take-home tealight with your written intentions and reflections, as a small, tangible reminder that even through the darkest winter moments, your light is constant and enduring.
