YOGA
Come join this retreat celebration on this sacred day as we let go of 2025 and create space for all that is good in 2026! We'll mark the solstice with 108 sun salutations, including half and modified versions to welcome beginners. Sun salutations are practiced with the changing of the seasons and symbolically marking the transition from death to rebirth and the growth of self. You will be guided gently through this practice with both encouragement and pause.
HEALING SOUND JOURNEY
Following our sun salutations practice, we will transition into a soothing, healing, and meditative sound journey led by Ashley Hopkins. During this extended Savasana, Ashley will guide us through a deeply restorative experience, allowing your body, mind, and spirit to reset and ground into the sacred energy of the day. This immersive sound journey is intended to support relaxation and integration, helping you fully embrace the transformative spirit of the Winter Solstice.
Ashley graduated from Soundwise Health Associates and is a sound practitioner who provides various forms of sound healing through intuitive vibration.
SEASONAL BRUNCH AND COMMUNITY GATHERING
After this immersive experience, we will take a break and come together to enjoy a seasonal brunch accompanied by warm teas. The Pheasant Run farm venue features a spacious dining area and beautifully landscaped surroundings, creating an inviting atmosphere that enhances both comfort and the enjoyment of sharing a meal. This tranquil setting offers the perfect environment for relaxation and connection as we nourish ourselves and continue to honor the spirit of the Winter Solstice in community.
ART JOURNALING AND INTENTION SETTING WORKSHOP
In the afternoon, our focus will shift toward reflection, creativity, and community. Together, we will mindfully release 2025 and welcome intentions for 2026. Through the practice of art journaling, you will be guided into a meditative process that encourages gentle release of the past year. This creative approach invites you to reckon with and let go of the year’s challenges while also cultivating gratitude for the experiences it brought.
You will receive support and guidance as you move through your reflections and create your artwork. Choices and prompts will be provided to help you authentically acknowledge and express your awareness of 2025. With gratitude, you can let go of what no longer serves you and create open space for all the good that awaits in 2026. This practice supports a graceful transition, fostering self-awareness and renewal as we honor the turning of the season together.
CANDLE LIGHTING AND CLOSING CEREMONY
As our retreat draws to a close, we will gather together for the traditional lighting of candles. This meaningful ritual is designed to symbolize both the inner and outer light that guides us through transition and renewal. Participants will form a circle as we collectively honor and release the experiences of 2025.
In this sacred moment, we will focus on the glow of our internal light, fully embracing the process of letting go and turning our attention toward the year ahead. This closing ceremony serves as a powerful reminder of our shared journey and the warmth we carry within, bringing our celebration of the Winter Solstice to a graceful and heartfelt conclusion.
