Virtual Winter Solstice 2023
Community, Hope, Transformation
December 15th - 17th, 2023
If you crave the magic and community of Winter Solstice, but are unable to join us in person, we have a very special first-time event this year. Please join us for our first complete all-Virtual Winter Solstice Program! This hybrid experience runs parallel to our in-person festival, with opportunities to join classes created just for you. Our goal is to make Solstice more accessible, expand our reach, and deepen our community connections.
Unique Online Class Experience
Your virtual Solstice ticket gifts you the best of both worlds. The hybrid Solstice program will feature exclusive, online classes designed specifically for virtual attendees. You will also gain access to 4 recorded classes from the live Winter Solstice event, available to watch anytime.
Program & Class Description
Online Solstice Program
The online Solstice Program includes a full schedule of classes and workshops, just as if you were there in person. These will be delivered online via Zoom, available for you to take live or to watch at a later date. Recordings will be made available 3-7 days after the online workshop on our virtual platform, Sutra.
Please note: We are finalizing teacher times for the virtual workshops. As soon as we complete this step, we’ll send the lineup your way!
All these times are in MST
Date | Time | Title | Teacher |
Friday | 7:00 – 9:00 PM | Harmonize: Community, Hope, & Transformation | |
Saturday | 4:00 – 6:30 AM | Aquarian Sadhana Start your day on a harmonious note with Aquarian Sadhana. Dive into the practice of Japji, followed by a Kundalini Yoga kriya, as you align your body, mind, and spirit with the uplifting energy of meditation. | Ana Cristão (Rama Kirtan Kaur) |
Saturday | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Ardas Bhaee – Celestial Communication for Hope & Change Whenever we move through a transition, a life change, or an evolution, we must dedicate ourselves to hope and faith to make it through to the other side. Before a transformation, there is a breakdown: you notice what isn’t working, you become honest about what your priorities and values are, you feel discomfort, which can sometimes be extreme. At some point, you may feel completely overwhelmed. To keep moving forward from breakdown to breakthrough requires faith and hope that there is something better and more aligned on the other side. It requires trust that the effort is worthwhile and that you are, as well! I imagine that we can all look around right now and see things we’d like to change in our personal lives and in the world. Possibly, you can even see things that are being forced to change, knowing that there’s no going back to what it once was. The powerful mantra, Ardas Bhaee, holds the vibration of hope, miracles and grace amidst challenge and change. This mantra becomes an anchor to carry you through transformation and to give you enough hope and courage to take the next step. Or, it can also help you be still and patient, to not overreact out of a feeling of perceived disconnect or hurt. In this workshop, we’ll explore the power of prayer through this mantra. We’ll chant the mantra and experience it as a moving meditation, Celestial Communication. You will come out of this workshop with a deep knowledge and experience of Ardas Bhaee, as well as an anchor in your own prayer – written, spoken and through movement. Let’s experience the strength of community this Winter Solstice as we combine powerful words and embodied movements. May this give us the grace to keep going, to have faith, and to do what we can to make a difference in our lives, families, communities, and the world. | |
Saturday | 2:00 – 4:00 PM | ¡Nos Crecieron Alas! | Inderjot Kaur |
Saturday | 4:30 – 6:30 PM | Transformation through Resilience Transformation comes in many forms, but true transformation comes from a place of resilience. When we are out of balance we cannot truly connect to ourselves or the world around us. This opens our auric field to attachments and unwelcome energies leaving us feeling weighed down and generally fatigued. | |
Sunday | 4:00 – 6:30 AM | Aquarian Sadhana Start your day on a harmonious note with Aquarian Sadhana. Dive into the practice of Japji, followed by a Kundalini Yoga kriya, as you align your body, mind, and spirit with the uplifting energy of meditation. | Laurence BERAUD |
Sunday | 10:00 – 12:00 PM | Recalibrating the Brain | |
Sunday | 2:00 – 4:00 PM | Mind, Body & Spirit Immersion | |
Sunday | 4:30 – 6:30 PM | Crystalize the Aura: Heal the 7th Year Journey inward during the window of the winter solstice and harness the healing energy this time brings. The first 7 years of our life sets the foundation of our identity and consciousness. The number 7 in tantric numerology is represented by the aura. The dharma of 7 is to forgive, the karma is to hold onto the past. Uncover any pain or subconscious patterning that your soul is calling to release from conception to the 7th year. Move into a space of clarity, ease and forgiveness…. as you | |
Recorded In-Person Classes
In addition to the class schedule designed specifically for you, the virtual ticket includes 4 curated recordings from the live event. These will be accessible on our online student platform between December 20th-22nd. See below for the list of classes that will be recorded and made available from the live event!
1. From Stillness to Authentic Expression – a Kundalini Meditation experience with Hansu Jot
In our hectic modern lives, finding stillness may feel like a distant goal. However, in these quiet moments, we discover our true selves and the path to authentic expression. This journey involves self-discovery, embracing imperfections, and fostering self-love. To start, we create stillness through mindfulness or meditation. This practice unlocks authentic expression, where we trust our intuition and stay true to ourselves. This journey is challenging but inspiring to others, drawing like-minded people and opportunities.
Workshop Highlights:
- Deep Kundalini Yoga Meditations for inner listening, energy flow, and wisdom
- Pranayam to connect with life’s force
- NaadYoga and mantra practice for expressive alignment
- Deep relaxation for cellular healing
2. Circle of Hope: With a Future this Bright, We Gotta Wear Shades! With Shakta Kaur
We’ve been through a tough past couple of years. But there is hope! Hope is always an act of Infinity on our part. Shakta leads us in a Kundalini Yoga Kriya to celebrate the existence of all the good things in life—love, human kindness and character. Then we Meditate together in a circle to nurture that always present spark of hope inside of us. We gotta have hope!
3. The Incandescent Light Within with Vedya Amrita
The consciousness of hope is seeing the incandescent light within the darkness surrounding us. This mystical light connects all life, creating a profound sense of faith and hope. The incandescent light of the Guru is Truth itself, Hope itself, Love itself, Source itself. Join Vedya Amrita as we activate the mystical light within to ignite hope and illuminate the path of transformation.
4. Changing your Heart towards Pain with Shama Kaur
To love is to feel the pain of the heart. This is inevitable. It goes with human existence. The challenge is to always have the love just that bit stronger than the pain. This Kundalini Yoga and Meditation class delves into the profound teachings of transforming our relationship with pain by magnifying our experience of love. It explores how Kundalini Yoga and meditation practices can empower you to change your heart and minds when facing physical, emotional, or spiritual pain. We will work on strengthening the nervous system so that it can take on a new level of experience; even one that is uncomfortable.

What is Kundalini Yoga?
Kundalini Yoga is known as the Yoga of Awareness. How does it differ from other forms of yoga? The emphasis in Kundalini Yoga is on the flow of the kriya—the specific sequence of exercises and meditations (these may include posture, breath, mantra, focus, and/or movement).
Postures are often held for a substantial period of time, to the point where the mind gives way to the body’s wisdom. We begin each yoga set with a mantra of protection called the Adi Mantra (Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo), which links you to the flow of Infinite Consciousness that guides the kundalini energy, a powerful energy of consciousness that lies at the base of the spine.
The synergistic combination of postures, mantras, and meditations combines to put positive pressure on the subconscious mind and allow it to clear limiting beliefs and patterns that are otherwise inaccessible.
