Held

A Winter Solstice Day Retreat to Be Supported, Seen & Restored

From darkness into darkness, let yourself be “Held” in the light.

On the shortest day of the year, let us cultivate light together — through our voices, yoga, community, and connection.

Held is a full-day Solstice experience created to honour the turning of the season — a sacred pause to reflect, release, and receive. This day retreat invites you to move gently from stillness to expansion, from darkness into light, through intentional practice, ritual, and shared presence.

Together, we’ll begin before sunrise — breathing, chanting, and awakening as the first light of day arrives. You’ll be guided through grounding movement, astrological exploration, hands-on healing, and the deep rest of sound and Reiki — all designed to support your natural rhythm and help you feel nourished, renewed, and truly held.

This is a day to slow down, open your heart, and remember the beauty of being supported — by each other, by nature, and by the light returning once again.
