Description

In mid-Winter, the modern world rushes, gearing up for the holiday season and end of year celebrations. In contrast, nature descends in the dark. The earth sleeps and her creatures hibernate.

Winter is a time to slow down and embrace rest and reflection. The darkness holds deep wisdom and creative nourishment. It is a time for renewal and to gather around the fire. We creatures take our cue from nature, knowing that resting and dreaming is the ultimate creative act.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice marks the darkest point of the year and a time of heightened dreaming. It is when the light is reborn and begins to slowly increase. It is a time to incubate our creative dreams, ideas, and projects, and to trust and nourish their future unfolding.

The Creature School for Misfits & Rebels will hold a special online circle in mid-December. The gathering will prepare you for the Winter Solstice and support you to meet the winter season with more courage, creativity, space, and ease.

The gathering will include:

• learning about the myths and stories associated with the Winter Solstice
• getting into your creature bodies through embodiment, movement, and breath
• connecting to your senses
• deep listening practices & dream tending
• creative practices & visualizations to develop your creative ideas & projects

Listening is how we see in the dark and this gathering will help you to listen deeply and hear the creative sparks that are calling you for the season ahead.

We can’t wait to get cozy and creative with you 🔥
