Winding Down and Turning In: A Winter Solstice Event
Sunday, December 18
6:00 - 7:30 pm
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES
In preparation for the 2022 Winter Solstice on Wednesday, December 21, we gather in person to reflect, release, and honor all that has passed in the last year - and what a year it has been. Some of us will bring our basket of grief, many also carry seeds of hope.
For in the words of Valerie Kaur, "What if this darkness is not the darkness of the tomb, but the darkness of the womb? What if this is our transition to something new."
We go deeply into the feminine energy of Yin as we prepare for the darkest night of the year. We gather on the Sunday just before the Solstice. We will have a ceremony in which we'll release our old ideas and losses.. We will enjoy songs, movement (body prayers), silence, story, and a supportive circle of women.
This gathering is on Sunday, December 18, and the actual Winter Solstice is Wednesday, December 21. We meet beforehand to support each other in the winding down and turning inward needed to benefit from this time of personal mental introspection, allowing of emotions, physical rest and stillness, and spiritual contemplation and surrender. Then, despite all the distracting energy our outer culture would call us to, we are more able to hear the call of the soul and tend to that inner voice alone when the time comes, in solitude, but with our sisters at our backs in spirit.
Details/What to Bring:
All women are welcome; you may want to bring your journal and a pen if you'd like. We'll all respect the collective space by leaving cellphones off. An assortment of herbal teas will be provided so you can warm your insides.
Cost:
Suggested donation: $20, sliding scale $15-$25
