Sunday December 19th 2010 @ Soma Yoga studio
1423 NW 70th St.
You are invited to join us in coming together to sit, to welcome the upcoming longest night of the year!
Astronomically Winter Solstice marks the beginning of the shortening of nights and the lengthening of days.
Solstice derives from Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still). It is a potent time for quietude and reflection as well as celebration, as we transition into Winter and the gradual return of light! The solstice is on December 21st, so we will be meeting a couple days before the actual date. Everyone is welcome, and no previous experience in Meditation or Qi Gong is necessary.
This is a great opportunity to take some "TIME OUT" in this busy holiday season to support each other in sitting with vitality!
Please arrive by 6:00pm to set up for sitting.
We will start with chanting the Heart Sutra at 6:15
1st round of sitting meditation 20 minutes
followed by 20 minutes Qi Gong practice
and then 2nd round of sitting meditation 20 minutes
Afterwards, sparkling juice, tea & treats will be served and there will be time to hang out together.
Please feel free to bring treats to share if you are inspired, however it is not necessary.
Many THANKS to Jean of Soma Yoga for generously donating the space for this special event!
Please bring your sitting cushion if you have one.
Otherwise cushions and chairs are available there.
This is also a great chance to check out the new space before I start my classes there in the new year!
Reply to let me know if you are planning to attend, so I will have an approximate head count.
Please feel free to e-mail or call if you have any questions 206 - 706-0069.
I look forward to sit together....... Treya
