Ward Pavilion at Wildwood Preserve Metropark
Free Community Gathering
As daylight wanes and the longest night unfolds, join Yogaja Yoga as we partner with Metroparks Toledo for a contemplative evening honoring the Winter Solstice at Wildwood.
We’ll begin inside the Ward Pavilion with guided breathwork and gentle movement accompanied by a live sound bath from Sound Voyage and Izzy, setting the tone for deep reflection and renewal.
From there, we’ll embark on a silent, candlelit walk through the woods to Wildwood’s iconic Covered Bridge for a moment of stillness and meditation beneath the winter sky.
Returning to the pavilion, we’ll close with a Connection Circle—a mindful movement ritual where participants form concentric circles, pausing face-to-face for a brief exchange of connection and presence before rotating with the sound of a gong. Mariana’s live vocals will carry us through this practice of community, gratitude, and light.
The evening concludes with warm drinks and seasonal treats, celebrating the return of the sun and the shared warmth of togetherness.
