Winter Solstice Sound Journey & Harp Ceremony

Service Description

As the longest night of the year invites us inward, join us for a 90-minute ceremonial journey of sacred sound, meditation, and celestial harp music, celebrating stillness, reflection, and the return of light. You are welcome to lie down and rest for the entire experience or sit upright and simply receive. The evening begins with an interwoven sound journey and guided meditation, blending the tones of singing bowls, chimes, and the ocean drum with gentle spoken guidance. As waves of sound wash over you, you are invited to imagine the rhythm of the sea, the turning of the earth, and the quiet renewal that winter brings. This meditative immersion soothes the nervous system, calms the mind, and opens the heart. The experience then flows into a live Celtic harp concert, where Danielle’s ethereal music carries you into a state of deep ease, harmony, and inner illumination. It is a beautiful way to honor the Solstice’s invitation to pause, release, and begin anew. ⸻ About Danielle Riegel Danielle Riegel is an internationally acclaimed harpist, sound healer, and teacher of dance, yoga, and qigong.
