Living in Rhythm: Longest Night; Season of Light
Dec. 12 - Dec. 18, 2022
Dec. 12 - Dec. 18, 2022
"This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s
threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of
caught breath."
Margaret Atwood
As the light of days shorten and cold settles in we may feel an “invitation,” deeply rooted within our very being, to shift from outward to inward with a deepening awareness of the many blessings that truly grace our lives.
Living in Rhythm: Longest Night; Season of Light Virtual Retreat
Dec. 12 - Dec. 18, 2022 **NOTE: Other than the two live Zoom sessions, this retreat is self-guided. Once the retreat has begun, you can access the content at your own pace, so the dates shown for the retreat are meant more as a set of guidelines. more ...
THE RETREAT: This online mini-retreat offers daily creative explorations and spiritual practices designed to help us deepen our awareness of the rhythms of the cosmos, the rhythms of life and this season when so many on this earth celebrate light. A wonderful variety of short and simple, yet rich and fulfilling ways of exploring our connectivity to seasons, cycles and celebrations.
Online: At home; no travel involved.
Mini: "Bite-sized" retreat sessions that fit easily into even a busy day.
Self-guided: You choose when/if you engage in daily activities, which ones, how much time you spend, etc. Rather freeing, in a grown up kind of way, don’t you think?
Live Elements: via ZOOM. Zoom gatherings are the first last dates of retreats, in the evening, actual times TBA
What is a Retreat? An intentional respite; a hiatus from one’s daily routines and demands.
Retreats that involve going physically to a different location for a specific time period compel us to experience a change of physical, mental and spiritual "scenery". With an online retreat it is up to each of us to honor and gift ourselves the time and space for rest, renewal and fresh perspectives as well as for the blossoming of inspiration, creative thinking, learning and doing. The daily sessions, with creative explorations and spiritual practices, provide the framework in which to do this.
WHAT'S INCLUDED: Seven days of a variety of self-guided creative arts and spiritual practices designed to deepen one’s connection to and expression of gratitude*. Music, dance, visual arts, meditations, visio divina, movement, poetry, ritual, journaling; presented through videos and downloadable pdfs.
A live Welcome Gathering as well as a live Closing Gathering, via Zoom give us the opportunity to engage with each other, to meet and share in a Community of Gratitude. To hear from others on the "journey" at the same time as ourselves can be powerful, interesting and fun. Each Zoom session will be approx. 45 - 60 min. in length. Replays available for those unable to attend live.
Often we give life as it’s unfolding precedence over the plans we have, so I understand that one might not get around to doing everything offered. No worries, the content will remain available to you for a number of months and I will give you a heads up when I’m preparing to take it down. Most of the material is easily downloadable, so you can download what you wish. And all all the content is optional - you choose the explorations and practices you would love to do.
*Each daily offering can take about 15 min. to do. However, you are invited - and encouraged - to take as much time as you desire to ponder and explore the creative art or spiritual practice invitation more deeply.
VIRTUAL RETREAT INVESTMENT: he investment is $45. for the Vibrant & Longest Night, Season of Light.
The number 45 is said to possess great spiritual energy. It seems a perfect fit for the powerful time of the Winter Solstice and celebrations of Light.
Enroll in one mini-retreat and the investment is $45. Enroll in both and the investment is $39 per retreat. (a beautiful number with the spiritual significance of letting go of negativity and embracing all that is positive, as well as compassion and joy!)
