About this Event
The solstice is the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, the official start for winter, and an invitation to turn inward, rest, and contemplate.
As we contemplate, we begin to ask: How might we appreciate the gifts of darkness and introspection that winter offers? What seeds of intention can be planted to nurture during winter that come to life in spring? What lessons can be learned from autumn, to take root in winter and blossom come the Equinox?
What kind of care do you need?
Each day from the winter solstice until summer solstice, the days get longer, exemplifying the return of the Light. Even on the longest night, we must let our inner light shine bright.
Thiese offerings are for everyone, and participants will leave with a deeper connection to inner wisdom in the cradle of community care and fortified by the grace of meditation and vibration.
Join us for a World Class Solstice Sound and Gong Bath by Local Legen Reggie Hubbard, presented by Harmony Works at Church on the Square in Canton.
Reggie Hubbard
Reggie Hubbard is the founder/Chief Serving Officer of Active Peace LLC. He has done many things, but is most proud of being a caring human, a stroke survivor, teacher/wisdom steward, strategist, organizer, spiritual advisor, minister of sound and devoted seeker of truth, compassion, health, well-being and justice for all. Through Active Peace, he teaches all walks of life through wisdom, movement, meditation and sound, ways to cultivate well-being as a foundation rather than an afterthought.
His wellness journey was born of curiosity; forged in adversity due to a toxic job; and has become a lesson in surrender to the miracles that exist in focusing on what you can control with grit, grace and curiosity. His yogic and meditative practices have served as a sanctuary of peace and refuge while processing racism and the pressures of serving at the height of US politics/grassroots activism, international education and marketing as a black man in the United States. He has nurtured an awareness of the true aims of yogic and meditation practice – liberation, open heartedness and loving service. His spiritual practice has helped him bear witness to complicated emotions (anger, grief, disappointment) while nurturing grace and ease of spirit in the midst of it all. He has created pioneering curriculum in partnership with the Kripalu Institute for grief, BIPOC Male Healing (Permission and Refuge: Healing Retreat for Men of Color). and healing in general (How We Heal Virtual Series)
Reggie's life work sits at the intersection of building community, bringing more peace and balance to activists; guiding the wellness community toward being more engaged, concerned citizens; enhancing the well-being of all walks of life; and, shifting the world toward more justice for all. He is a featured speaker/thought leader on political strategy, new consciousness, wellbeing, social justice, and civic engagement for leading publications, podcasts and platforms including: Be Here Now Network, Essence, Kripalu, Mind and Life Institute, Omega Institute, SoundsTrue Foundation, Upaya Zen Center, the Wellbeing Project, Yoga Alliance, Yoga Journal and Yoga Magazine.
Reggie considers himself a global citizen, but spends most of his time in the Maryland/Washington DC area.
