EmbracING Stillness:
A winter Solstice Ceremony
with Chantal Russell & Alli Mary Epp
As the world slows down to embrace the longest night of the year, join Alli Mary Epp and Chantal Russell for Embracing Stillness, a special Winter Solstice Ceremony. A sacred gathering to warm your soul amidst the winter chill, this ceremony workshop is a unique opportunity to harmonize with the natural rhythms of the season, inviting you to rest, reflect, and draw inspiration from the quiet beauty of winter.
The Winter Solstice marks a pivotal moment in the cosmic dance of our planet, where the sun appears to stand still, inviting us to attune to the cycles of nature and to the profound transformative power of rest and reflection.

-
Commence the workshop with a soul-soothing Winter Solstice ritual, grounding you in the significance of this celestial event. Explore ancient customs and modern interpretations that honor the magic of the solstice.

Gather around a crackling fire for a guided dream meditation designed to cultivate a deep state of relaxation, inner warmth and stillness. Let the flickering flames serve as a metaphor for the light within and dream activation.
