2024 has been a year of upheaval, expansion, and the crumbling of outdated structures and patterns, both individually and collectively. Honoring the Winter Solstice—a time of deep stillness and cosmic alignment—we’ll gather in intimate community to alchemize the lessons of this year, release outdated stories and mental structures, and restore our spirits where they’ve been worn thin. Through breath, movement, sound, energy, and intention work, we’ll create space to turn inward, focus, transform, and seed the vision of 2025—both for ourselves and the new world that’s emerging from all of us.
