“Solstice” combines the latin words sol (sun) and" sistere (to stand still). On Thursday, December 21st, the sun appears to stand still in the lowest part of the horizon and remains steady there for three days, creating the longest nights of the year. On December 24th, the sun begins to incrementally rise, and marks the “re-birth of the sun,” which has been celebrated for millennia.

Come honor the Winter Solstice with Amy Lefebvre and Carrie Dennison in an evening cultivating stillness, peace and ritual through Restorative Yoga and Sound Healing.

Pour a cup of hot tea, grab some blankets and props and grow quiet and soft in your body and mind as Carrie guides you in a series of restful Restorative Yoga poses. Settle more and more completely as you are washed with the healing vibrational tones of Amy’s singing crystal bowls. We will have time to chat and share as we reflect on the year’s seasons and prepare for winter.

During the practice and sound bath will be experienced in a meditative wordlessness with minimal instruction when shifting poses so that each person can fall into that liminal space, soften the talkative mind down to a whisper, and receive some recalibration and healing.

This Winter Solstice ritual will provide you with an opportunity to connect in meaningful conversation, relax and reflect, clear out energies that do not serve you, and make space for creating loving intention for the year to come. From the space of deep rest and stillness will come renewal.
