Winter Solstice Gathering at Samanà
Winter Solstice Gathering
Honouring the longest night and welcoming the return of the light.
An afternoon and evening of light in community , with friends and family (kids are so welcome !).
21 December | Samanà Space
16:00 - 21:00
Join us in celebration of this Winter Solstice: a special time in the year where we gather to honour the longest night and welcome the slow, sacred return of the light.
The Winter Solstice marks a powerful turning point: a moment of deep stillness, reflection, release, and even sometimes a rebirth process.
Together as a community, we come to pause, breathe, reconnect, and realign with what truly matters.
This event invites you into a journey through movement, creativity, intention and sound, wrapped in warm ambience, soft candles, and soulful togetherness.
✨ 16:00 Welcome Ritual
Arrive into a cozy space lit with small candles and gentle music. Get to know and meet others here in our sanctuary.
✨ 16:30 Creative & Connection Stations
We gather for arty and connecting activities designed to reflect, be joyful and be together. Let us surprise you with some intentional activities. All arty material included.
✨ 18:00 Songs of Yule
Songs and tunes with light and joy to bring us all together. Sing along some of the beautiful mantras and affirmations guided by our gospel singers.
✨ 19:00 Dance & Free Movement
Move freely and intuitively as we shake off the old year, release what no longer serves, and expand into joy, connection, and embodied freedom.
✨ 20:00 Closure & Sharing
We close with a soothing sound bath to integrate the evening, holding our lanterns as symbols of the inner flame we carry into the winter months.
🌑 Why We Gather on the Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice is the shortest day and the longest night of the year a sacred pause in the natural cycle.
Across cultures, this moment has always been honoured as:
a time of deep reflection
a moment to release what we are ready to leave behind
a symbolic rebirth of the light
a reminder that even in darkness, new energy is quietly awakening
an invitation to come together in community, warmth, and shared humanity
This gathering is meant to hold space for all of us bringing on stillness and renewal before we part with our family and friends at Christmas.
✨ Cacao & Matcha Bar
(available throughout the evening)
To keep you warm and nourished during our Solstice gathering, we will have a small Cacao & Matcha Bar open throughout the evening.
All drinks are prepared gently, heartfully, and with clean, plant-based ingredients.
Menu:
