Winter Solstice Yoga & Meditation
December 21, 2020 @ 6:00PM — 7:30PM Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Now more than ever, it is so critically important to bring more trust into the world. Trust in nature, trust in ourselves, trust in community. Leah and Tara will help us put energy into cultivating this trust while honoring the balance of light and dark that lives within each of us during this special virtual gathering. This is a collaboration between Evergreen Healing Arts and the Kearsarge Food Hub, with proceeds being split between the two organizations.
The Winter Solstice celebrates the darkest day of the year. It marks the return of the sun and the beginning of longer days, reminding us of the eternal interplay between darkness and light. In these times we gratefully enjoy the fruits of last season’s harvest and plan in earnest for the coming growing season. We take solace in the nourishment provided by the land and find comfort in acknowledging the intricate communal web that brings this nourishment to our plates. In reflecting on the truths of nature, we can find similar connections within ourselves and cultivate trust in the rhythms of everyday life.
In our solstice yoga session, we will practice familiar poses together. These poses will highlight physical expressions of the lightness and darkness we can find in our bodies.
In our meditation, we will go quietly inward and honor the darkness. We welcome the stirring and await the spark of our own inner light, creating an intention for the coming season for ourselves and then carrying it into our community to share that light with others.
Prepare your home space by gathering a yoga mat, 2 blankets and a candle.
