Contact Stacia TO KNOW THE DARK
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings. by Wendell Berry

The winter solstice begins with the final signs of the zodiac: Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. These signs work to organize society into a unified whole that works together to ensure survival for all.
The Sun enters the land of Capricorn at 8:19 pm on the evening of the Winter Solstice in the Northern hemisphere. Capricorn is an ambitious energy that invites the Sun back towards the Spring as the days begin to lengthen. It is the sign about full potential, as we dream of what is most important to us in life. Being the last earth influence of the year, Capricorn is a realistic energy that wants to get the job done in the most practical way. Capricorn influences us to take practical steps as we surrendered to our deep foundations. When we awaken from our surrender to the Earth on January 20th the sun moves into the land of Aquarius and we may start to stray a bit from our safe conditionings. Aquarian energy knows how to spread its wings and express itself. This energy understands we all have unique medicine that helps our soul evolve into its next incarnation as it shares itself to create the whole of humanity. On February 19, the sun moves into the last zodiac sign of the annual cycle: Pisces. During this final planetary influence, we float reflectively through the journey of the year. We can gain perspective and rewards of the hard week we've undertaken through all seasons. It is now time for the dead weight of the cold winter to release from our bodies and swim into a new rhythm of life. We are influenced to float on our backs under the Pisces sun and flow with the currents that guide us to the light. Come join in an afternoon of embodying
the natural cycle of the Winter. We will explore the principles of the season. Our activities will help our bodies rest in the dark and be more present to the transitions into the deep winter. We will work with sound vibration, deep guided meditation, and engaging exercises to help you embrace the gifts of the season.
Please bring a small item from your home that you feel represents the Winter. As a collective we will create a community altar to honor the season. MJ Daniels will grace the workshop with the vibration of her singing bowls. With her keen awareness of sound and space, MJ brings us into a harmonious state with sound healing. Feel free to contact Stacia with questions, curiosities or excitement. Read more about the Embodied Seasons workshop cycle. |
