as the winter solstice approaches, we invite you to join us in honouring this ancient and meaningful time of year. the winter solstice, marking the longest night and shortest day, is a natural turning point in the seasons. it offers us an opportunity to pause, slow down and reconnect with the quiet wisdom of winter. just as nature retreats, rests and gathers its energy beneath the surface, we too are invited to embrace stillness, release the need to constantly do, and recognise that growth doesn't always need to be visible. as the days gradually begin to lengthen, we welcome the gentle return of light, warmth and new possibility.

our winter solstice gathering begins with an introspective journey, a guided visualisation and intention ritual, taking inspiration from the natural cycles of the seasons. a time to reflect on what we wish to release, what we hope to nurture, and what we would like to make space for as we move towards the returning light.

we then move into a slow paced yoga, guiding you to connect with your body and moving with intention, before easing into a nourishing combination of yin and restorative poses, offering an opportunity to settle deeper into stillness. following our movement practice, we will pause to enjoy warm drinks and festive cakes together, before closing the evening with a deeply immersive sound bath. lie back and relax as the harmonising tones of the gong wash over, helping to settle the mind and gently integrate our intentions for the season ahead.
