The Return of Light | A Winter Solstice Celebration & Sacred Soundscape

Join us for an evening of warmth, nourishment, community connection, and healing sounds at Nama-Stay Retreat Village.

Winter is the season of stillness, reflection, and renewal. As nature slows and the days grow shorter, we are invited to turn inward, nourish ourselves, and reconnect with the quiet wisdom within.

The Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year and the beginning of the sun's return. It is a time to honor the darkness as a place of rest, possibility, and transformation, while welcoming the gradual return of light. In this stillness, we create space to release what no longer serves us, strengthen our inner spirit, and nurture the seeds of what is yet to come.

Together, we will celebrate this sacred seasonal transition through nourishing food, warming tea, local art, and meaningful community connection, followed by an immersive soundscape journey inviting deep rest, reflection, and renewal.

5–8 PM | Community Celebration

Gather in warmth and connection as we share nourishing soups, warm tea, local art, and the simple joy of being together. An opportunity to slow down, connect with others, and honor the season's gifts. In the spirit of community, we ask that everyone bring a food offering to share. 

8–9 PM | Sacred Soundscape

As the evening settles, we transition into a sacred soundscape journey. Through healing sounds and gentle stillness, we invite the body to soften, the mind to quiet, and the spirit to reconnect with the light within.



PREPARE FOR YOUR EXPERIENCE:

  • If joining the Sacred Soundscape, plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before its 8 PM start to settle into your space.

  • Dress in comfortable, warm layers that are YOU.

  • If desired, bring your own sheepskin or favorite items for comfort. Yoga mats, blankets, and pillows are available.

  • Bring what makes you most comfortable for an hour of rest and reflection.

  • If you'd like, bring crystals and a bottle of drinking water to accompany your soundscape journey.

Important

We encourage early arrival for the Sacred Soundscape to allow everyone time to settle comfortably before the journey begins.

There is no parking at Nama-Stay Retreat Village. Please park in town and walk or bike down to the Nama-Stay Pavilion.
