Spiraling Into The Dark: Solstice Continuum Dive with Cacao Ceremony

  • Community Yoga & Wellness Center 16 Federal Street Greenfield, MA, 01301 (map)

With Megan Bathory-Peeler

Saturday, December 20, 2025 • 1:00-5:00 pm

As our cultural bodies accelerate, many people experience distressful symptoms from sustained resistance to this speeding up. It becomes more urgent that we actively pause and attune ourselves to any moment of quiet and balance that life offers us. Continuum is a profoundly relevant awareness-awakening practice that reminds us how to slow down, quiet our minds, and open our hearts.

Solstice is the perfect time to embrace the contracting forces of our own resistance and meet the unknown with power, curiosity, and creativity. A cacao ceremony will be offered to enhance heart-mind opening as an optional part of entering the explorations.

The longer format of Continuum events allows us to devote time and space to exploring what it means to be in a human body-mind. Guided by breath, vocalized sounds, imagery, and simple biological movement impulses, we recover awareness and restore sensations in the body that are flattened by the speed of modern life and lost in the cultural quicksand of fear, sorrow, and pain.

As we slow down to the speed of water, our tissues hydrate themselves, becoming less dense – more spacious and fluid. This helps us relocate our bodies and differentiate ourselves from the sensory overload of modern life. Continuum retrieves a sense of wholeness and biological optimism from the cultural quicksand fear, sorrow, and pain. What a wonderful way to approach this sacred time of year.

 

 Sit with your friends; don’t go back to sleep

Don’t sink like a fish to the bottom of the sea.

Life’s water flows from darkness.

Search the darkness, don’t run from it.

Night travelers are full of light,

and you are, too; don’t leave this companionship.

~ Rumi
