The Mysterious Pass: Winter Solstice Workshop

An online ritual movement & breath inquiry to honor the welcoming darkness and the returning light.

a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a longer dive time. Time to slow down and enter the sacred pause, to reflect and shed, kiss 2020 goodbye, to enter the mysterious pass between death and rebirth, to offer gratitude for the lengthening days, and to celebrate renewal.

For those with experience with my work or Continuum.

​

Held on Zoom. Participate live or via the recording. The recording will available for one week only, to honor the ritual space.

Cost is $110 or $45 sliding scale rate (just select sliding scale when you book online)

I also have some work-study places open, and as always, some free spots for bipoc and anti-racism organizers. Please email to unabashedly inquire about those spaces.

As we move towards the winter solstice, I see a desire in so many of my patients and students to want to want to jump ahead to the return of the light, through winter to spring.  We're all ready for something new - it's been a year we're eager to put behind us - but this is also a sacred time of letting go. To leave the dross and clamor of the busy world and really allow our energies to turn inwards. It's important that we give ourselves the time to slow down, to rest, to hibernate and incubate. It's sacred time. In the letting go, we have the opportunity to recognize what it is that matters most to us.

When we look to nature, we see how the vital forces have contracted inwards. The trees have drawn their life-giving resources and fluids inside – out of their exteriors and down into their trunks and roots – allowing their leaves and hardened seeds to fall. Energy moves from the surface inwards into dormancy. This time of year expresses the wisdom of nature that is introverted, the brilliant capacity to store and sequester vital essences safely within. And nature, of course, is not separate from us. Just like the natural world around us, our bodies change with the season. Even a healthy pulse has different qualities at different times of the year. By aligning ourselves with her currents, we can cultivate our own health and harmony.

So, this is the time time to allow ourselves a final surrender before the return of the light at the solstice. To immerse ourselves in the ancient ritual of entering the darkness and resting into the trust that light is, inevitably, returning. This workshop will be a wonderful opportunity to sink into a longer experience of the work, and to get a taste of the mystery school aspect of my work.
