Reclaim Your Inner Light: A Sacred Ritual of Solar Preparation
In the midst of holiday preparations, your energy is your most precious gift. Join us for a single, powerful day to replenish your spirit and prepare for the winter season from a place of profound inner calm.
This is not just a retreat; it’s a sacred ritual of self-care, expertly timed for Solar Preparation just before the Winter Solstice. The Solstice marks the moment of maximal darkness and the rebirth of the Sun’s light (known esoterically as the Solar Shift). We will use this potent energy to clear the shadow, ignite your inner reserves, and align your vessel to receive the returning solar light from a place of clarity and strength.

- SACRED CACAO CEREMONY
A heart-opening ritual using ceremonial-grade cacao (optional) to facilitate gentle emotional integration and nourish your spirit, preparing the Heart Chakra to anchor your core Inner Light.
- THE 2-HOUR GONG BATH EXPERIENCE
Lay down for a deep, extended session of vibrational healing using planetary gongs (focusing on solar and earth tones), singing bowls, and other therapeutic instruments to induce profound relaxation and reset your nervous system’s core vibration in preparation for the shift.

Simple movement and reflection practices to integrate your insights and ensure you leave feeling centered, stable, and strong, ready to hold your light through the winter.
