Dreaming with the Unseen: A Solstice Ceremony and Mini Retreat
Sunday, Dec. 21, 2:30-4:30 p.m.

Join Gurdeep and Rachael for a ceremony and retreat at The Yoga Loft that draws on the powerful portal of the winter solstice that occurs this year on Sunday, Dec. 21. The Winter Solstice is the longest and darkest day of the year, and a time when the sun appears to “stand still” before returning back to light.

This workshop includes trance meditation and healing, a group poem, candle lighting with intentions and more. The class is $55 per attendant. Register here: www.theyogaloftmarblehead.com/workshops. 

Hone your drawing skills and meet new friends at the MAA’s Drop-In Life & Portrait Drawing session, 8 Hooper St. MAA models will be posing for you to capture their essence on paper. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just starting out, everyone is welcome to drop in and get creative!
