Saturday Evening Seasonal Sound Journey - Yule. The Midwinter Solstice.

5pm - 9pm. Saturday 22nd June 2025.

You are invited to join us for an extraordinary evening.
An Evening Seasonal Sound Journey to Celebrate the Midwinter Solstice

Traditionally known as Yule, the midwinter solstice honours the longest night and the shortest day of the year.

Yule is the still point and the turning point of the sun as he is reborn anew to begin his journey again toward the summer months.

Mother Nature slumbers deeply within the Earth.

If The Wheel of the Year were overlaid on a 24hr day - Yule would be Midnight.

The colour is Cobalt Blue. The seasonal sound note is G and the focus is on the Throat.
