Taught by Liam Oragh & Susan Ni D

December 20, 2026 16:30 · 2 hours WORKSHOP at MANDALA

Ancestral Sound Healing with Yin Yoga Immersion

by Candlelight on The Darkest Night.

Honour the Darkness. Welcome the Return of the Light.

Winter Solstice - also known as Midwinter, The Longest Night, Hibernal Solstice, Yule, Grianstad an Gheimhridh.

A powerful still point in the cycle,

The shortest amount of daylight accompanied by the longest hours of darkness during the night.

For our ancestors, the deepening darkness of Winter must have inspired both awe and dread. Imagine the unease and fear they felt as the daily descent into darkness continued.

Did they dare to believe that the light would return?

Fast forward to Dec 2026.

A time of year when we get pulled in all directions, engulfed by all manner of distractions which can suddenly shift us into a state of overwhelm.

The Winter Solstice is a moment you get to press PAUSE.

Exactly as the sun does on this on its path

Let go of your year.

Radically slow down.

Melt deep tension.

Explore quiet and stillness.

On the eve of the Winter Solstice, the Mandala space transforms briefly into a New Grange like chamber, lit only by candlelight..

Devices and distractions are left behind. You'll move slowly through grounding yin yoga poses to the accompaniment of ancestral sounds - healing instruments and the human voice.

Poetry, reflection and silence.

What is Yin Yoga?

Yin yoga is a very slow-paced style of yoga that is practiced close to the ground with props to support the body. Postures are held for longer periods of time - ranging from two to five minutes.

Yin yoga is a gateway into our inner landscape and encourages deep awareness and exploration of our inner world. It is deeply calming and meditative soothing the nervous system by flipping it back into ‘rest and digest’ mode.

What is Sound Healing?

Sound Healing is a form of sonic meditation that enables deep relaxation. It Is the practice of using sound and frequency to bring harmony, healing and relaxation to body, mind and soul. A variety of sound healing instruments such as singing bowls, crystal bowls, chimes and gongs are used. The vibrations from the instruments assist in the release of emotional and energetic blockages in the body and stimulate healing in a simple yet profound way.
