June 21, the winter solstice; a light in the dark, a spasm of energy as the black of winter closes in.
The period where dimensions drift past each other, brushing tautly at their restraints as they subtly pollinate across planes. The trick is to not bend, we will not conform to the whims of the seasons and their masters - preaching sleep and rest in a time of empty blackness.
Join us as we turn the shortest day of the longest, opening 24 hours from 11am SATURDAY June 21 overnight til SUNDAY the 22nd of June.
We fill the time with experience, experimentation and revelry - think dark winter energy, the alternative and unknown. Art, music and food all night long, we drink in the release of our newest wine and beckon to the dawn. Walk the Solstice Sculptures at night, bathe in a ritual or refresh in the cleansing heat. We have no formal program, but rather encourage you to come and explore the space and venue to see what you can find - however you can expect to find some of the following (plus more);
Sound Bath Healing Ceremony
Sauna + Ice Bath Ritual
Tarot Card Reading
Soundscapes by Tom Ling & Damien Groves
Solstice Sculptures by Night
