NEW MOON & WINTER SOLSTICE Drum Circle/Gongbath Ceremony - Dec. 20, 2025

Spiral Light Sound & Meditation Center presents:

NEW MOON & WINTER SOLSTICE Drum Circle/Gongbath Ceremony with Esther Shapiro and Jere Friedman

You’re invited to join Esther Shapiro and Jere Friedman for this very special healing opportunity to use the energies of the December New Moon and the Winter Solstice to reconnect with what's really meaningful for you at this pivotal time of year. The New Moon is a time when we “reset” our energy for the coming month, and the Winter Solstice gives us an opportunity to look back at where we’ve been and set our course for the coming year. The Winter season gives us a much-needed fallow space in our lives for rest and introspection. As the daily period of sunlight gradually becomes longer, life marches gradually but ceaselessly towards the rebirth and flowering promise that comes with Spring. Each of us stands at a powerful turning point as we reflect and choose “what’s next” on our life’s journey.

In this ceremony you will be welcomed into a sacred circle of ceremony, rhythm, and vibration, where transformation unfolds naturally and connection becomes medicine. First, you'll be invited to participate in an energetic Drum Circle as Esther and Grandmother Drum lead you and others to create a powerful, unified spiritual force and sense of community. The collective rhythm and improvisation combine into a dynamic experience that blends physical movement with the creation of a shared soundscape, fostering connection and potentially inducing a meditative or trance-like state. No drumming experience or talent necessary! Drum circles are fun and enriching for novices and experienced drummers alike.

Then, lie back and relax as Jere plays gongs, singing bowls, and other instruments to activate the powerful Sonic Vortex, which will envelop your body, mind, and spirit in healing and energizing vibrations. Take your own personal journey to a deep level of rejuvenation, re-energization, and reconnection with your Authentic Self.
