Winter Solstice Healing Circle Reflections

On December 21, 2024 we gathered at the Harmonia Healing and Music home space to celebrate the Winter Solstice. It was a beautiful evening full of nourishing food, conversation, music making, song, clearing, and light. 

Over the potluck meal I opened the circle for participants to share what was on their hearts. This led to insightful discussion and connection around the themes of setting boundaries, relationships, repeated patterns, individualism vs. collectivism, and culture. Each participant was able to resonate with what someone else shared. That is the power of gathering in community.  

We then moved into the Reiki and music portion of the evening. After the opening Reiki meditation, participants explored voice, various percussion instruments, and learned the Fire Clearing Song. We then journalled what we were releasing and clearing. The transition from Autumn to Winter is a powerful portal for release. The papers the participants journaled on were taken outside to be burned in the fire for a final clearing. 

Once we were outside for songs by the fire, we truly connected with the light of the solstice. Taking in the sparks and flames, our voices echoed as we sang. It was a very chilly night so we weren’t out long. We went back inside to get cozy for the closing Reiki relaxation. 

The circle wrapped up and everything left feeling full, happy, and light; ready for a magical journey into Winter and a new year ahead. 

If you’d like to join in the magic, come to the next Healing Circle! We’d love to have you.
