Step into the tranquil embrace of the coming Winter Solstice, the longest and most peaceful night of the year, with a soothing and sacred Journey Through Sound & Silence. This restorative experience invites you to pause, breathe, and immerse yourself in the spacious stillness of winter — a season of rest, renewal, and gentle introspection.
Allow the grounding, harmonious vibrations of crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, gongs, and other soothing instruments to carry you through a serene soundscape. Interwoven with intentional moments of silence, this journey mirrors the calm and wisdom of the season, creating a sanctuary for deep rest, reflection, and inner peace during this often-busy time of year.
What to Expect:
- A warm and grounding guided meditation to set your intentions.
- A nurturing sound journey designed to soothe the spirit, align with the quiet energies of winter, and provide spaciousness for renewal.
- Moments of profound silence to deepen your connection to inner stillness and clarity.
- A cozy, sacred space where you can truly rest, restore, and reflect.
Optional Book Exchange Post-Journey Activity:
Extend the evening’s warmth by participating in an optional Book Exchange, inspired by the Icelandic tradition of gifting books on Christmas Eve. Bring a “gently loved” inspirational book that has brought you comfort, joy, or insight, and exchange it for a new treasure to explore during the quiet, reflective winter months. This heartwarming activity embodies the spirit of sharing and connection, creating a meaningful close to the evening.
If you’d like to participate in the book exchange, please bring a gently loved book — one that has inspired, supported, or uplifted you — to pass along and brighten someone else’s journey. If you’re unable to part with a book from your collection, you’re welcome to purchase one to share. Not ready to exchange a book? You’re still invited to stay and enjoy the conversation, learning about books that might inspire your winter reading list. Everyone is welcome to participate in a way that feels right for them.
Why Attend?
The Winter Solstice marks a sacred turning point — a moment to honor the cycles of nature and reconnect with your inner light. This Journey of Sacred Sound & Silence offers a calm and grounding space for renewal and reflection, helping you prepare to welcome the light and possibilities of the year ahead.
Wear some cozy flannels or pj's and bring your favorite blanket, pillow, yoga mat, and anything that helps you feel cozy and comfortable!
