About this Event
Join us in some gentle guided movement, meditation and reflection where we will (re)connect with ourselves and with nature as we go into winter.
The winter season can feel frantic. Too bright, too busy, too loud.
Take a morning with us to explore a different perspective - winter as a time of growth.
Growth happening in the dark. Winter as a time of stillness, gentleness and rest. A time to find your centre again. A time for home. A time for grounding.
Take time to give yourself permission to dream new things into being and to put energy into yourself.
Inspired by Mary Oliver's lines "Every year we have been witness to it: how the world descends into a rich mash, in order that it may resume", facilitators Emily and Laura will lead you through gentle movement, a short meditation, a guided labyrinth walk in the grounds of the cathedral and a reflection.
You will leave feeling grounded, nourished and that you can come home to what is important to you in the coming months.

About Emily
Hello! My name is Emily (she/her) and I am a celebrant in the greater Edinburgh area, Scotland. Meeting new people, hearing their stories, and finding ways to bring heartfelt magic into their rite of passage truly brings me joy. In my work as a celebrant, I use the listening, writing, and presenting skills I have honed throughout my career as an anthropologist, and combine them with my significant experience of writing, leading, and holding sacred space for group ceremony in my own Earth-based spiritual tradition.
