Winter Solstice 2022

DECEMBER 19-25, 2022

with guest healer, Rebecca Danbi Kim plus a special solstice eve dinner prepared by Chef Peter:

Join Chef Peter for a soul-warming dinner to celebrate the Winter Solstice and the return of the Sun God. The five-course meal will honor the day by featuring an array of seasonal dishes, including potato pancakes (latkes) with apple sauce, tomato and orange soup, roasted beet and squash salad, Alaskan (salmon) or vegetarian shepherds pie, apple crisp, mulled cider, and hot ginger tea. And did we mention that the meal will be in our 30-foot yurt in front of a cozy fire and burning yule log?!

Winter solstice is a magical turning point of year, as the longest day of night. When we allow ourselves to sloooooow down to rest deeply and root into the darkness of winter, we can receive the greatest wisdom and illumination of our lives.

Join us in magical Mount Shasta, the powerful root chakra of the earth, during Winter Solstice, for a deeply restorative sabbatical week to slow down, reset and come back into balance with your body, mind and spirit. Our guest healer, Rebecca Danbi Kim, will be offering three 90 minute winter self-care cultivation sessions to help us flow into the restful stillness of winter.

Winter is a potent time to incubate the depths of our visions and restore on physical bodies through deep rest. We will gather for spiritual self-care and grounding ceremony as we deepen into presence during this critical seasonal turning point.

Join our Winter Solstice Sabbatical week at Hestia to:

  • Establish an inner sacred refuge even if all else falls apart.

  • Enjoy your days, weeks, years as more than mere quantity of passing time.

  • Enrich quality of experience by empowering each moment with intention.

  • Meditate while living your life rather than separately from it.

  • Find your center of balance and switch on peace anytime.
