This time of year, and darkness itself, may raise fear and uncertainty. This event has been created to guide you through a journey of your Self wellness practice as you explore different ways to engage the creative depths of your inner Darkness and bring it into balance with your Lightness.
December Solstice 2020 – This Solstice is the darkest day of the year and it is the day when many cultures recognize a ceremony of calling back the light; for the very next day the sun begins his journey towards the lightest day on the Summer Solstice in June. The December Solstice in 2020 also marks an amazing astronomical event where Jupiter and Saturn come together in a great conjunction. This year, it feels particularly important to spend time gathering in celebration of the darkest day. 2020 has taught us many things, and this event is a culmination of all our learnings, at this ending of the year, to intentionally spend time with ourselves in Darkness. We want to demystify and remove some of the social conditioning which has taught us that darkness is equivalent to evil or negativity. The positive side of Darkness reminds us that seeds are planted in darkness, babies are grown in darkness; Darkness is the birth place of our most creative aspects of personality. This event is a journey through your darkness to build your own lovely darkness practice. An opportunity to dig around in the fertile dark ground and bring forth what is yours to take from that place into the rest of your life.
“Darkness can be a beautiful place; by bringing in the softness of Dark Femininity and resisting the negative side of Masculinity, we begin to explore our own balance in a new and powerful way.” - paraphrasing Leena during our planning discussions.
This limited attendance event provides registrants with a value of $400 CAD for the price of $40 CAD. Register today to secure your spot and celebrate the Darkness and call back the Lightness with us.
Practitioners, in order of sharing:
Tahona Santana – Tahona will begin the event by opening the space and welcoming us in. We will begin with Body Work.
I’ve been passionate about body awareness and its capacity to rebalance and heal it-self for over 10 years. The window to this professional radical shift (and life change) was triggered by Grinberg Method studies in Switzerland. I’ve been working as an independent practitioner in several countries, helping people awaken their incredible body's intelligence ever since, and now hold a Holistic Center in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, where I co-founded Mallorca Holistic Retreats, in 2016.
I will be there on the Solstice to help you get back home into your body and awaken its unique intelligence to transition from tension to relaxation, from shrinking into expansion, from disconnection to integration, from division to wholeness.
Russ Webb, RRT – Russ will continue our gathering with a session of breath work.
As a Registered Respiratory Therapist, I have over 20 years’ experience with breathing and the importance of breath work for health and wellness. I have seen time and again how something as simple as focusing on breathing can create an incredibly positive impact on physical health. During this Solstice, I will lead you through a breathing exercise meant to ground you in the dark so you can balance it with light. You will be able to take this exercise with you into the future and use it whenever you wish to have a grounded place from which to do your own work.
Leena Graham– Leena will continue our togetherness with a guided intuitive reading.
My name is Leena Graham, I am a Reiki Master Teacher and a Body & Self Awareness Practitioner.
I help people to break free of restrictions and create the life they deserve. Restrictions that hold us back come in forms of negative thought and behaviour patterns, habits and blocks. By paying attention, recognising and learning these patterns and the responses stemming from them we can start breaking what keeps us small and begin the path towards our larger self.
In my group sessions I use my powerful intuition and my ability to tap into the universal energy grid to channel messages and connect & direct the collective energy of the group where it is needed for each participant.
We come together and clear away what needs to be cleared away, set strong intentions and hear the messages we need to hear for the next phase of our journey.
Group healings are a powerful, beautiful place; we come together and join our energies, as a circle of powerful individuals increasing each other’s inner power.
By doing so we gain a stronger connection to the deep places inside where our true self and full potential reside. This will help to illuminate everything that is still staying in the shadows. And in this particular session the shadows are the place where we want to dive into. And find ways to see it as a place of beauty and creativity instead of as a negative and something dark to be avoided.
Valerie Burns – Val will round out our journey together with resonance healing to bring our awareness gently to the coming light.
My name is Valerie Burns; I am a health and wellness business owner; a published author; and a Reiki Master Practitioner and Crystal Reiki Master Teacher. I have been working with energy resonance for many years now. The wellness portion of my business, AtHome, provides a beautiful space for my energy practice and my energy awareness to grow and develop during these unprecedented times; sound and crystals have come to be my closest allies when I am shifting and moving energy in myself; and have become a standard part of my practice with clients. I will explain the resonance tools being used, and we will travel on a gentle journey through the rich darkness and feel the shift and flow of light as the sounds and crystal energies flow through the group and bring us to a lovely affirmation and closure to our time together.
