Winter Solstice draws you into a stillness where truth doesn’t hide—it waits.

In this Winter Solstice Sound Ceremony, you’re invited beyond the mind 🌙 into the deep terrain where ancestral memory, body wisdom, and soul converge. The silence isn’t empty. It’s alive. It’s ancestral. And it holds profound insights for you.

Lay down, exhale, and return to the part of you that has always known how to rest.

Put on some good headphones, find a quiet and comfortable place to lay down. Sink into stillness, and rise in truth.

Guided by Bronwyn Ayla, in collaboration with Temple Step Project.
