Illumination: Nourishing Practices for the Winter Solstice

Join us for an intentional recalibration to support the transition from the depth of winter towards longer days that arrives with the Winter Solstice.

We will enjoy the heart-awakening gift of cacao, followed by a sound-based Ayurvedic breath work practice with Devon. Sarah will lead a sensory Yoga Nidra accompanied by live singing bowls and reiki by Katie Jaffe.

Following Nidra, Janel Possiel will lead us in a Despacho ceremony: a traditional Andean gratitude ceremony that honors the sacred reciprocity we experience every moment of our lives. It is a beautiful offering of energy back to Pachamama (mother earth) through a symbolic creation of a mandala via an arrangement of items, plants, herbs, and prayers. Despacho translates to “dispatching a message or care package” and it is an act of love that reminds us of and celebrates the interconnectedness of all life.

Come join us in this collective wisdom offering s to nurture and reconnect us to a feeling of inner illumination -- through presence, practice, and community.
