Candlelit Winter Solstice Workshop 2026
20th December 5pm - 7.30pm | 21st December 7pm - 9.30pm / Studio 33, Ellenbrook, St Albans
Our most popular evening of the year, offered on two dates by demand!
As the year draws to its longest night, the Winter Solstice invites us to pause, let go of what’s no longer needed, and gently turn back toward the light. This is always our best-loved workshop of the year — so for 2026, we’re offering it twice.
Why This Matters Now
December asks a lot of us: deadlines to close out, gatherings to show up for, a to-do list that somehow gets longer as the year gets shorter. All while the body, quietly, is asking for the opposite: rest, warmth, dark. This workshop is a chance to stop overriding that instinct for one evening, and actually listen to it by candlelight, with time to reflect on the year behind you and set a gentle intention for the one ahead.
Choose Your Evening
This workshop always sells out, so we’ve added a second evening this year to make sure more of you can join us. Both evenings offer exactly the same practice — simply pick whichever date suits you.
What we’ll do
– Slow, restorative and yin yoga to release tension held from the year
– Breathwork to calm an overstimulated nervous system
– Guided meditation and a candlelit reflection practice
– A simple ritual for letting go of the old and setting an intention for the new
– Seasonal refreshments and time to simply be still, together
As the longest night arrives, come and find stillness, peace and rest before the busyness of Christmas begins — and leave having marked the turning of the year with real intention, not just another to-do list.
