Pause with us: unplug from technology and connect to the cycles of Earth and sun. This is the point in the Northern seasonal cycle where light peaks before sloping toward winter. In our 12-hour solstice immersion, we will hold time and space for you. Retire your devices, surrender to your breath and being. We will bring you into harmony with yoga, meditation, breath work and a cacao sound bath…
