SUMMARY:Embracing Darkness\, Welcoming Light: A New Year’s Womxn's Ritual w/ Meredith Rosenbluth
DESCRIPTION:Embracing Darkness\, Welcoming Light:\nA New Year’s Womxn’s Ritual for Releasing and Receiving\nWhile January 1 is the designated new year in the Gregorian calendar\, it remains seasonally and energetically the dead of winter—a time to turn inwards\, rest\, compost\, and reflect. \nIn being with what was\, we can begin to call in what will be. In attuning to the rhythms of nature\, we can give ourselves permission to be unhurried in this process. \nIn this womxn’s gathering\, we will co-create ritual space to tend to ourselves and each other at this turn of the wheel of the year. This ritual circle will include: \n• Building a collaborative altar• Contemplative journaling• Personal sharing of reflections from your 2025 and witnessing others’• Gently guided time to seed-plant intentions for 2026• Somatic practices to release stuck tension and emotions from the body• Group singing/chanting• Compassionately held and facilitated space to serve you in your personal integration of 2025 and orientation to 2026 \nRitual is a sacred\, intentional\, embodied practice of slowing time. It is a choosing to direct attention; to commune with oneself\, ancestors\, energies\, symbols\, and spirit. We need these containers to envision and manifest\, process and honor\, alchemize and release. \nIn this ritual circle\, we welcome:• Authenticity and vulnerability• Non-judgment towards self and others• Agency in participation and non-participation (each practice as invitation\, not requirement)• The full spectrum of human emotion• Honoring confidentiality of what is shared in the container \n \nMeredith is devoted to cultivating attuned\, grounded\, vulnerable\, and joyful spaces to foster meaningful connection and transformation. All of you is welcome\, exactly as you are in any given moment\, always. A somatic emotional health coach and astrologer\, Meredith offers individual coaching\, breathwork\, and group programs through her private practice. You can learn more here.  \nFor more information on Meredith\, please see her teacher profile here! She teaches donation based Meditation weekly on Wednesdays from 1:15-1:45pm. \nCost: $30Financial Aid Available- Please stop by the front desk\, call\, or email kelsey@ashevillecommunityyoga.org. \n \n \nPLEASE NOTE: We encourage pre-registration for all programming. Registering in advance guarantees your spot and helps the studio have adequate staffing. If fewer than 5 participants register the event may be canceled. \nRefund Policy: We understand that life happens and unforeseen circumstances come up.
