A soothing sound experience to nurture body and soul through the dark season.
About this Event

As the sun reaches its lowest point and the night stretches longest, we gather in warmth to honor the turning of the year.

Join Kara Markovich at The Origami House for a Winter Solstice Sound Immersion, our first official sound offering in this new space. Surrounded by candlelight and soft textures, we’ll rest into the deep resonance of gongs, singing bowls, and gentle instruments that invite stillness and inner reflection.

This evening is inspired by the Nordic concept of hygge — cultivating coziness, connection, and contentment in the dark season. Together, we’ll welcome the quiet, release what no longer serves, and create space for new light to emerge.

Together, we will honor the stillness and introspection of winter, while also cultivating warmth, comfort, and connection in it.

What to expect:

  • A guided grounding and intention-setting
  • Immersive gong and sound journey
  • Time to rest, reflect, and reconnect
  • A gentle closing

What to bring:
Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, or anything that helps you feel comfortable lying down. Layers are encouraged for warmth.


Where: The Origami House —Kalamazoo’s community space for sound and transformation
Investment: $50 (plus Eventbrite fee)

Come as you are. Sink into sound. Welcome the dark, and the light to come.
