We are not meant to live through the longest night alone.
We are meant to call back the light together.

May the warmth of our Winter Solstice celebration ripple far and wide through this holiday season.

So we hope. So may it be.

Sometimes the things that hurt just need to be held.

For so many of us, this time of year can feel so fraught. The pressure to perform is relentless and the expectations, endless. Our longing for connection is piqued, but the cost of that connection can be too high a price to pay.

And all of it often points us toward our most wounded parts, the parts that cry out for relief, for relationship.

In those moments, this is what we hope for you:

That you are freed from fixing the things that hurt and instead feel yourself drawn to holding them instead.

If you need a place to make that possible, we’ve got you. 7 days a week. 70 classes a month.
Come as you are. Pay what you can.

Your presence means more to us than what you can pay.

All of our classes are pay-what-you-can. All we ask is that you show up and we’ll take care of the rest - because movement is for every BODY.

Sometimes we need this reminder.

After everything we've been through, every moment that has made up our individual lives, and our communal lives - we are still standing.

The best way to stand is to do it together, so come stand with us.

“All flourishing is mutual” - Robin Wall Kimmerer

Said differently: You don’t have to take all you can to get what you need. At least not when you’re with us.

Since the day we opened our doors, we’ve been committed to this idea that our collective impact could create something incredible, but one of the things that often gets misunderstood is that this commitment is some kind of spiritual principle.

It isn’t. It’s practical. It’s evidence-based. And it’s intended to get us ALL to consider a third path toward economic justice. Something other than charity or greed. Something better than the binary.

And when you come alongside us in the work we’re doing, you’re not JUST making movement accessible for every BODY. You’re also becoming a part of building something that just might show the whole world that there is a better way to be in relationship with each other.

There is nothing wrong with a long, dark night. It is where we rest.

And this new moon in Sagittarius right before the Winter Solstice… well that’s as dark as it gets.

Which could feel like a heavy burden to bear OR we could see it as the perfect time to remember the power of planting in the dark, the gift of digging into our heart’s deepest desires and letting them take root.

So come dig in with us. Enjoy the long dark night. See what we can grow together.

Rest is not a reward. It is resistance.

Tis the season to remember that rest is another way of refusing to be a part of a culture that demands relentless productivity.

We know you’ve got a lot left to do, but maybe… just maybe… this is the week you come lie down alongside us instead.

We've got plenty of opportunities this week. Take a look at our schedule at sanctuarystudiosqc.com
