Winter Solstice Blessings and a Winter Temple Invitation
Sending love from the sanctuary in Kilkenny where we are for our Winter Solstice gathering with our future new Shamanic Kundalini Yoga teachers 💗
What a vibe! So incredibly special to see some of them teaching for the first time in these dark and mystical mornings.
On Sunday we arrive at the Winter Solstice — the darkest, quietest point of the year.
This is the moment when the Earth exhales… and the light begins its slow, sacred return.
For our ancestors, this was not just a date in a calendar.
It was a threshold.
They lived in deep relationship with the turning of the seasons, marking the solstices as moments of reverence, ceremony and renewal. Fires were lit. Stories were told. The community gathered close. This was a time to honour what had been endured, to rest deeply into the dark, and to trust that life was quietly reorganising itself beneath the surface.
Winter was never meant to be rushed through. It was understood as a necessary medicine.
In this modern world we are rarely given permission to truly slow down. Yet our nervous systems, our hearts and our souls still remember this ancient rhythm. Winter calls us inward. It invites us into soul rest: a softer way of being, where integration happens naturally and wisdom has space to land.
This is not a season of doing, it is a season of being and also a time of allowing ourselves to be held by the dark rather than afraid of it.
So I hope that in these days of consuming and all the holiday panic and stress that you manage to take a moment for this potent medicine of the Solstice.
To honour this time and this wintering medicine, I'm delighted to gift 2 free spaces for The Winter Temple, our 21-day live online journey through January. It was born from this exact understanding: that when we honour winter properly, something profound settles within us.
The Winter Temple is a gentle daily sanctuary of Shamanic Kundalini Yoga, Breathwork, embodiment, and deep soul rest - designed to support your nervous system, your emotional body and your inner landscape during this potent time of year.
It’s a place to arrive exactly as you are.
To be guided, not pushed.
To remember that you don’t have to carry everything alone.
To enter:
I’m sharing the giveaway over on Instagram — simply head there to take part and tag someone you’d love to journey through winter with.
OR if you would like to gift this gorgeous experience to someone you can buy them a voucher to join me.
Of course you could also add it to your own Christmas stocking and get someone to buy it for you!!

May this Solstice meet you gently.
May you allow yourself to slow down.
And may you trust that even in the dark, the light is quietly finding its way back to you.
Sending love to the max,
