Join us in celebrating the Winter Solstice on December 19th at Nectar Retreat Centre. The term "solstice" originates from the Latin words “sol”, meaning "sun," and “sistere”, meaning "to stand still." During this significant time, the sun's path appears to pause. Gathering in Nectar’s geodesic dome, each participant will be invited to reflect on their journey from the Summer Solstice to the arrival of Winter. Through gentle functional movement and an invigorating pranayama practice (yogic breathing), we will step into deeper relaxation with the meditative vibrations of a crystal bowl sound bath, concluding with shared written intentions and a communal bonfire.

Join Nectar's Gentle Flow Community Class on Sunday evenings. These classes are designed to connect community in movement, breath, and introspection.

In this class we will connect with the medicine of cacao to begin our journey into our hearts to support the unravelling and completion of 2025. With breath and yin postures we will shed the skins of the snake year, revealing our new skin of power for the horse year ahead. Releasing our year with deep gratitude for their lessons and growth, we will release into the fire what is complete and no longer serving the greater good of our hearts. Please join us in circle, in connection, in celebration. 

As we enter the new year, this online gathering provides an opportunity for reflection and setting intentions.

Together, we’ll amplify our deepest intentions for 2026, focusing on self-reflection, relationships, mind, body, spirit, work, play, and the feelings we wish to cultivate.
