About This Event:
We invite you to join us for Stillpoint; a collaboration between Bettina Rothe, Michael Oliver from The Flying Sage and Theda Phoenix. Step into the enchanting embrace of the Winter Solstice, a time of deep stillness and unity consciousness. On December 20th, we will reconnect with the sacred rhythms of the cosmos as we find ourselves at the Stillpoint of the year.
We are proud to be partnering with STEM Chocolates for this event. They will be kindly providing optional microdoses of mushroom medicine for those that choose to partake. STEM psilocybin Chocolates is dedicated to dismantling the stigma surrounding medical magic mushrooms.
The evening begins with a brief guided meditation where we will collectively embrace the quiet, contemplative spirit of the solstice, allowing it to illuminate our inner world.
After this, we will transition to a guided dyad practice where we will all have the opportunity to connect more deeply with one another. A dyad is the simple exercise of pairing up with someone else and offering your presence as you alternate between different question prompts. It is a simple, yet powerful way to illuminate ourselves and one another.
Following the dyad practice, you will be guided into 5Rhythms Conscious Dance and embodiment. Guided by the rhythm of life itself, we'll move our bodies, merging our spirits into a state of unity consciousness to explore what is present for each of us. The dance is a symbolic expression of the returning light, a dance of rebirth, and a celebration of our connection to the cycles of the universe.
This journey of stillness culminates in a soul-soothing sound healing journey. Allow the harmonious resonance of healing sounds to wash over you, clearing away what no longer serves, and creating space for deep rest. This meditative experience is designed to nourish, leaving you refreshed and ready to embrace the return of the sun during this powerful transition.
Join us for this this soulful winter solstice celebration, a night of connection, stillness and expansion together in community.
