Join me in celebrating the Winter Solstice with a restorative Sound Bath! This Solstice offers a time of renewal, hope, & the triumph of light over darkness. It’s an auspicious time to let go of what’s no longer serving you and welcome new beginnings.

For the meditation, we will experience the energies of the stars as the warmth of the sun rises basking you in it’s gentle rays & penetrating your body with healing energy.
