An Afternoon to Rest & Restore At Winter Solstice- Sunday December 21s-2.15-5.15pmt- Mullingar

55.00

A cosy gathering at this special time to rest, reflect and renew.  And to basque in the stillness that we can access at this potent time.

Solstice takes place in the deep midwinter .

The winter solstice marks the still point of the sun, the shortest day and longest night.

As the earth sleeps and the animals hibernate we take a pause to welcome the return of new light in the same tradition as our ancestors throughout the ages.

This festival on the celtic calander offers us a beautiful opportunity to pause, become still and lean into &  find solace and inspiration from the darkness.

Our beings crave space, quiet and deep rest at this time, but during the holiday season we are drawn outward into brightness and busyness.  This evening will assist in bringing more balance.   It’s an invitation and opportunity to let go and relax on all.

A warm welcome awaits you.

Our afternoon will be by soft candlelight  to really embrace the darkness and connect with the light within.

We will blend together some specially themed winter solstice practices including:

Mindful & Restorative Yoga

Gentle Breathing practice.

Guided Meditation

Deeply Restful Yoga Nidra.

Cacao Ceremony

“This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath”

                Margaret Atwood

 

Bring a blanket, eye pillow, cosy socks, maybe a hot water bottle  (though the space is lovely and warm) and anything you need for comfort.

I really look forward to welcoming you to these winter sessions, it is such a potent and special time of year.

*If you are on SSRI ‘S, Maoi’s or have a serious heart condition, please contact me in advance and I will advise some modifications around the cacao.
