On the longest night of the year, we gather to slow down and listen. To the body. To the breath. To whatever is ready to be released at the edge of this season.
This evening brings together a simple cacao ritual with a deep, guided breathwork journey. Cacao will be offered as a grounding, heart-opening way to arrive in yourself, to soften any tightness you’ve been carrying, and to meet the evening with presence.
From there, we move into breathwork. A space to clear the static of the past few months. To feel what’s been sitting underneath the surface. To let your system settle into the quiet that winter offers. The music, the pacing, the depth, it’s all designed to help you land, open, and reconnect to your own inner rhythm.
The winter solstice is a natural pause point. A moment to acknowledge what this year has held, and to choose what you want to carry forward into the returning light.
No experience is needed. Just bring yourself as you are.
