The pre-recorded journey was recorded live and invites you to participate in it via the recording on the Winter Solstice Day (Dec 21) or on another winter day of your choosing, when the nights are long and dark and the yin is deep and fertile. Or you can choose to join the live space this year
The Dark Night is her own priestess. It is too dark to see her, so she can only be found in the deep tissue of our own wintering bodies, where she summons the rhythms of the Yin in our own nature. She offers us our own power– sensuous, tactile, erotic, fertile, dangerous. An endless dark ocean of desire, capable of… the world. But she refuses her medicine to anyone who cannot afford enough slowness to pull down the curtains, to remove herself from the world, and to descend into the mysterious and fertile territory of the Dark Yin within in her own body.
Join us from the candle-lit privacy of your own home and take a journey into the ocean of Yin in your anatomy. This is a ceremony of descent and surrender, of passivity and erotic receptivity– touched in every inch of the body. A full-body encounter with your essential sensual self, and with Yin as a shaping force of your life.
Prepare Be in a private space and warm it up so you can be relaxed and body-comfortable even without a ton of clothing on. Bring soft blankets, pillows. Prepare flower petals or dry leaves, pine cones, moss, or small branches- whatever you might gather on your walk- things that mirror you or seduce you. Light candles.
Expect A safely held, deeply ceremonial space where you can participate at your own pace.
After the Ceremony You will be invited to complete this ceremony out in nature on the same day, or another winter day of your choosing. We will offer simple guidelines for your after-ritual in wilderness.
