For the third year running...
We drop into deep rest in the Sacred Darkness.
Sacred Darkness is a weekly online gathering of contemplation in community over the Winter period.
Thursday evenings from 9pm (GMT/UTC) for one hour.
Commencing 7th November 2024 till 30th January 2025.
You are welcome.
Embracing the gifts of the season
For millennia our ancestors lived in relationship to the cycle of the seasons. Activities were aligned with the sun and the availability of natural light.
In Winter time, when the nights draw in, there would have been no other option but to be in darkness. Perhaps by the warmth of the fire and light of the lantern.
The tasks of the day would be completed in the light. As darkness falls, the tasks are put aside and there is a natural sense of slowing down. When the external stimulation falls away, we inevitably turn inwards.
In the last one hundred years or so, we have become accustomed to artificial light in our home, workplace, and social spaces. With electricity we banished the darkness and vanquished the perceived limitations of nature.
Yet at what cost to the biorhythms of our being?
Sacred Darkness is a moment of pause in the busy-ness of the week.
When you get to...
- Experience deep rest and restoration
- Align with the natural rhythms of the season
- Give yourself the gift of slowing down
