As the longest night descends, we gather to honour the quiet turning of the Earth — a soft invitation to slow down, to breathe, and to arrive gently within ourselves.

We’ll begin with a tender, fluid flow — movements like waves, easing the body into presence and softening what the year has held. After a nourishing break for food, we’ll gather in a candlelit circle for mindful tea meditation, journalling, card pulling, and intention setting — creating space for quiet reflection and inner clarity as we cross the threshold of the solstice.

We’ll close with soothing breathwork, as a quiet weaving of renewal and peace — sealing our practice in stillness.

Come just as you are. Bring a pen, a journal, and warm layers.

Let this be your soft landing — a return to simplicity, to breath, to the quiet heart of winter.
