As the earth tilts toward the light once more, we gather in rhythm and reverence to honor the turning of the season. The Winter Solstice calls us to pause — to breathe, to listen, and to remember the light that lives within even the quietest of days.The Winter Solstice marks the mid-point of winter and brings the promise of new beginnings as we move out of the darkness and into increasingly lighter, warmer days.
Through the heartbeat of the drum, we’ll journey together — releasing what is ready to be set free, planting seeds of new intention, and celebrating the warmth that rises when community gathers in joy and gratitude.
Feel the pulse of life as we drum together, connecting with the grounding rhythms of Earth and the season, keeping our spirits warm and cheery.
***Community Potluck: Our time together will begin with a potluck to share warmth, nourishment, and gratitude. Bring a dish that represents warmth, comfort, or light (soups, breads, golden foods).
***Drumming to celebrate life, rhythm, renewal, and relationship - to self, to earth, to one another through drumming, rhythmic meditation, song, and storytelling.
***Winter Solstice rituals and activities may include Intention Setting, a Release and Renewal Ceremony to let go of the old and welcome the light, and more!
If you're feeling the tenderness of the season or carrying the weight of loss and aren't sure about coming - please come!!! Here, no one needs to be alone. We’ll hold space for one another in kindness, connection, and the shared rhythm of our hearts.
Facilitated Drumming Experience - NO drumming experience required!
Led by Dee DiGioia of Mindful Kindful YOUniversity, this facilitated "Joyful Rhythms" Drum Circle offers a welcoming environment for all - whether you've never touched a drum before—or you’ve been drumming for years—there’s a place for you in the circle. Together, we drum in the light — and remember that we all belong.
Unlike traditional open drum circles, Dee gently guides participants in a structured, intentional experience designed to inspire connection, build community, and nourish the spirit. Feel the uplifting energy as rhythm resonates through your heart, invigorates your body, and nourishes your soul.
Drums and percussion instruments will be provided (and you’re welcome to bring your own).
Join us at the beautiful Eagles Landing Ranch vacation rental, atop Prefumo Canyon (San Luis Obispo), offering breathtaking views of Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, and the Irish Hills. Our gracious hosts are Ann and Sam Gonzalez. [https://www.eagleslandingslo.com]
