About this Event

The Winter Solstice represents a profound moment in the annual cycle of nature, marked by the shortest day and the longest night of the year, symbolizing a significant transition as we move from the dark days of winter towards the light of spring. This astronomical event has been celebrated across various cultures and traditions for centuries, imbued with rich spiritual meaning.


Some of you may find yourself naturally experiencing nostalgic feelings of joy around the holidays, while others may find this time of year to be challenging, and even painful. Wherever you land on that spectrum, we trust that if you've gravitated towards this offering, you've been guided to share this very special - all inclusive - community gathering with us. This unique Winter Solstice gathering is meant to be a safe and heartfelt space for friends, family, and strangers to come together to share meaningful connections, nourish mind-heart-and soul, and honor all that we have gained, grieved and released in this chapter of life.


Our schedule of offerings includes:

  • Cacao Ceremony to open and uplift the heart and spirit
  • Gentle Yoga to nurture the body and release stagnant energy
  • Sound Bath Meditation to soothe the mind and regulate the nervous system
  • Group Sharing, Song and Prayer to nourish the heart and uplift our spirits in gratitude
  • Festive Feast and bonfire


Important note on our ticket tiers for this event:

We aim to always make our events and offerings as accessible as possible to all who desire to participate, for that reason, we have 3 ticket tiers to accommodate your financial position. We ask that you please be honest to what you truly can afford to invest in exchange for the time, love and energy we pour into these offerings, as we have limited positions for discounted tickets for those experiencing financial hardship


  • Our Standard Admission ticket is for those who are financially stable and able to afford the full price investment
  • Our Financial Hardship ticket is for those who are in need of a discounted ticket in order to be able to comfortably afford this investment
  • Our Volunteer Exchange ticket is for those experiencing serious financial disposition, who desire to support this event with time and energy towards cooking, set up and clean up in exchange for a very generously discounted ticket


The Winter Solstice is often seen as a time for introspection and reflection. As the sun reaches its southernmost point in the sky, it invites us to pause and consider the past year. This period of darkness serves as a reminder to look inward, to contemplate what we have learned, and to acknowledge what we may wish to release as we prepare for the new year ahead.


Rather than fearing the darkness, the Winter Solstice encourages us to honor it. It reminds us that darkness is a necessary part of the cycle of growth and renewal. By embracing the stillness and quiet of this season, we can find solace and strength within ourselves. This introspective time allows us to connect with the rhythms of nature, fostering a deeper understanding of our own lives and experiences.


By celebrating the Winter Solstice, we honor both the darkness and the light, acknowledging their interplay as vital forces in our lives. This gathering provides a powerful opportunity for inner transformation and heart healing, inviting us to embrace change, reflect on our journeys, and look forward to the light that is sure to come.
