Winter Solstice Celebration
w. Kara Aubin
The Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. The word solstice means “stopped” or “stationary”—a still point when the sun appears to pause on the horizon before beginning its gradual ascent. This sacred pause invites us to rest, reflect, and honor the transition before the light begins to return.
Join Kara Aubin for a special evening practice celebrating the solstice. Through asana, pranayama, mantra, and community connection, we’ll come together to create an intentional and collective pause—honoring what has come to fruition and welcoming the light of a new cycle.
