HONOURING REBECCA

On the longest night of the year, we gather in sacred circle — to pause, remember, and return to the light. The Winter Solstice marks the longest night and shortest day of the year. The days begin to grow longer — a rebirth of the sun, symbolizing hope, renewal, and light after darkness.

 

This Winter Solstice, we honour Rebecca — our dear friend, mother, wife, daughter, and luminous soul who walked through life with quiet grace, fierce loyalty, and a heart that saw beauty in everything. Observant and deeply introspective — a quiet witness to the beauty and complexity of life. She loved deeply, even when her love spoke more through presence than through words. Her joy lived in moments of sunlight and sea, in laughter surrounded by love, and in the stillness of gratitude for life itself.

She found herself most alive when traveling, toes in the sand, face turned to the sun, and heart open to the wonder of it all. She was grateful for the heartbeat of her world —  her beautiful family, especially her daughter and friends who reflected her own light and love back to her.

On this Solstice night, we gather in her spirit — to rest, to breathe, to feel, and to remember that she is still with us in every flicker of candlelight, every ocean wave, every golden sunset.

May this gathering be a gentle reminder: that love transcends, that light returns, and that Rebecca’s spirit lives on — warm, radiant, and infinite.

NIKKI MAGIC MEDITATIONS

Yoga Nidra Meditation

Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation also known as “yogic sleep” or “effortless relaxation”. It is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the "going-to-sleep" stage, typically induced by a guided meditation. This beautiful practice combines deep relaxation, affirmation, breathing, mindfulness, visualization and self-inquiry to body, mind, and spirit and finding a deeper connection to true health, healing, and peace of mind.
