21 Days to Tune into You
A live online journey through hibernation, restoration + emergence
January has become a season of pressure.
New year.
New goals.
New plans.
A new version of yourself.
But nature is doing something entirely different.
She is quiet.
She is conserving her energy.
She is resting beneath the surface.
She knows that not everything needs to begin immediately.
Winter Medicine is an invitation to do the same.
For 21 days, we will meet live online and use the deepest part of winter to slow down, listen and come back into relationship with ourselves.
Not to withdraw from life.
Not to disappear.
But to turn down the volume of everything outside of us long enough to hear what is happening within.
Your body.
Your energy.
Your needs.
Your intuition.
Your own inner knowing.
Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is stop searching for the answer and become quiet enough to hear it.
This will be our 8th annual live online programme … its always a highlight for me and such a beautiful way to start the year, in community, in presence and with intention.
Winter is Not an Empty Season
There is a deep intelligence to winter.
The natural world understands the importance of dormancy.
Energy moves underground. Roots deepen. The unnecessary falls away.
What looks like stillness is actually preparation.
And yet we are so often encouraged to do the opposite.
To push.
To plan.
To decide.
To know exactly where we are going before the year has even properly begun.
Winter Medicine offers another way.
For these 21 days, there is nowhere else you need to get to.
We begin exactly where we are.
21 Days. Three Movements
We will move together through three stages of the winter journey.
HIBERNATION
We come in.
We slow the pace.
We begin to notice where our energy is going and what happens when we stop constantly spending it.
This is a time for grounding, rest, nervous-system regulation and coming back into the body.
RESTORATION
From that quieter place, we begin to replenish with potent shamanic kundalini yoga series to restore the energy.
The practices become medicine for the places in us that have become tired, scattered or depleted.
Not fixing ourselves.
Tending to ourselves.
EMERGENCE
And then, slowly, something begins to stir.
Not a grand plan.
Not another list of resolutions.
Perhaps just a feeling.
An idea.
A desire.
A knowing.
As we move towards Imbolc, we begin to notice the first signs of returning light both in the natural world and within ourselves.
We don't force the new beginning.
We make ourselves ready for it.
We will practice every day for 21 days, Monday in the evening for a healing circle and then class every morning for the rest of the week and weekends
Monday Night Healing Circles
Once a week we will also meet in the evening for a gentle Winter Medicine Healing Circle.
Blankets.
Low lights.
A softer pace.
These evenings will be less about doing and more about receiving.
A place to lie down, let the day go and allow yourself to be held by the practice.
Mondays are all about deep soul rest
Nothing to achieve.
Nowhere to get to.
Just somewhere to land.
And then our morning sessions are more dynamic …
What Might Change?
My hope is very simple.
That after 21 days of showing up for yourself in this way, you feel better.
More rested.
More grounded.
More spacious.
More connected to your body.
Clearer about what you need.
Closer to your intuition.
Less caught in the noise.
And as the first light of Imbolc arrives, perhaps you begin to feel something else too.
Readiness.
Not because you have forced yourself forward.
Because you have taken the time to go deep enough into winter.
And from there, spring can begin to find you.
