Chanting, Meditation, and Winter Solstice Ritual (JA2E25)

Registration closes at 5:30pm (Pacific Time) on December 20, 2025. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. Please read Important Notes below.*

Open to Everyone

Program to be held on the land only

Description:
The great love, joy, and sacred light that this season celebrates are found within our own hearts. During our time together, we will use the powerful and sublime blend of chanting and meditation to carry us from the frenzy of “holiday mind” to the ocean of the awakened heart. This uplifting evening will include chanting (call and response) and meditation, and we will conclude with a beautiful candlelight ritual to honor the winter solstice.

Together we’ll experience the nourishment of interconnection as we practice and pray in community for the healing of our world. We’ll also share the innate joy that is uncovered when we collectively chant (and dance, if you feel moved to do so).

Sliding Scale Rates: Our sliding scale options for this program include financial support for our teachers. Please consider paying at the highest rate that you can afford: your generosity supports teachers as well as Spirit Rock and your fellow practitioners who need to pay less.**
