Join the Habitual Roots community for joyful ritual and sacred play in celebration of the winter solstice Connect with the commUNITY. -Yoga -Cacao -Live DJ -Ecstatic dance Join the Habitual Roots community for joyful ritual and sacred play in celebration of the winter solstice. Winter solstice is a unique and potent time for introspection, rejuvenation, and balancing tamasic energy. We will explore the potentiality of this time to embrace the fruitful darkness and invoke the inextinguishable light within each of us. YOGA: For the first part of this event, Amanda will guide us through 108 sun salutations. We practice 108 because it is considered a sacred number in many traditions and is often used in prayer and ritual. Vedic culture views it as a number of the wholeness of existence. Modifications will be offered so all levels are welcome! CACAO: After yoga, we will sit with ceremonial grade cacao and explore how it can profoundly open us to our own hearts. Amanda will lead us through a SENSEual meditation with this plant medicine, inviting it to be both a guide and a gateway for increasing our depth of awareness, energy, and clarity. B.Y.O.Ms (Bring Your Own Mugs & Mats) ECSTATIC DANCE: Kevin, the co-founder of Habitual Roots, will play music for us during ecstatic dance. Ecstatic dance is an invitation for self discovery and celebration through movement. This form of self expression from an embodied perspective creates a natural sense of freedom and bliss unlike any other. We may have some other surprise offerings added to this event so be sure to follow us on the gram @habitualroots to find out! This class is a ticketed event for Habitual Roots.
