INNER SUN - WINTER SOLSTICE JOURNEY

Service Description

INNER SUN – WINTER SOLSTICE Dear Radiant One, You are invited into a ceremonial creative cauldron of Connection, Transmutation, Self-Honouring & Illumination. 🔥 Up to 4 individuals will be guided through this deeply held space, honouring the sacred turning of the wheel. This year’s WINTER SOLSTICE SHAMANIC JOURNEY welcomes the gentle burning & returning of the light — a potent portal to dive within and uncover your Soul’s inner warmth, nourishment, wisdom & riches, even in the cocoon of winter. Together, we deepen our connection with our INNER SUN — the light of our presence, purpose & abundance. ✨THE INVITATION In the wake of the recent Winter Solstice, we’ll gather on SUN-Day evening to potently explore the gifts of our darkness and light. Like stars shining in the night sky, we are invited to rediscover the source of our inner radiance, from the vast space within. We enter healthy hermitude, a haven of constructive hibernation for sacred shedding — where the light of our inner hearth is rekindled & stoked and with each letting-go new energy begins to glow. We awaken the serpentine energy that coils from within — golden serpents revealing luminous new skin. + SHAMANIC JOURNEY You’ll be guided through a Serpentine Movement Practice & a Supported Shamanic Journey, led by a trained Transpersonal Art Therapist, Yoga & Movement Guide. We’ll explore Archetypal symbolism, then integrate the journey’s insights through mark-making, Symbolic Integration & Candle Carving Ritual. 🕯️ DARKNESS & THE HEARTH The dark has been long feared & yet it is vital for rest, renewal, letting go, gestation — an honest reflection of the fullness of life, death, silent growth & rebirth. We will explore many archetypes to celebrate the magic of the dark, drawing wisdom from our inner hearth by listening to the quiet embers of insight within. 🔥EVENING RITUALS + Herbal Teas & Solstice Intention + Archetypal Wisdom Sharing + Serpentine Movement + Guided Shamanic Journey + Sacred Shedding + Candle Carving – for Symbolic Integration & to anchor inner warmth + SAFETY A warm, confidential, magical & cosy Rainbow Temple in Bellingen.
