Descent into Light: A Winter Solstice Ceremony

Descent into Light: A Winter Solstice Ceremony
On December 21st, the earth pauses. The sun reaches its lowest point in the sky, giving us the longest night of the year. For thousands of years, humans have gathered at this sacred threshold to honor the darkness and welcome the return of the light.
Join us for an intimate Winter Solstice ceremony where we'll work with the powerful energies of this ancient portal of transformation.

WHAT WE'LL DO:
We'll begin by creating sacred space and setting intentions for our journey together. You'll receive ceremonial-grade cacao—a heart-opening plant medicine that has been used in spiritual practice for centuries. As the cacao gently opens your heart, we'll move into guided shamanic journeying.
Through two shamanic journeys, we'll:

• Descend into the darkness to explore what we're ready to release
• Discover the wisdom and gifts hidden in our shadow
• Rise toward the light, connecting with what wants to be born
• Set intentions aligned with the sun's return

This ceremony honors the natural rhythm of the seasons and our own cycles of death and rebirth. It's a remembering that we must descend to rise, that endings always seed new beginnings, and that the darkest hour holds the brightest promise.

Sunday, December 21st, 2025 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM | 707 Arnold Avenue Point Pleasant Beach
