HearthSpace: A Sacred Winter Retreat of Jiva-Lini Yoga & Solstice Preparation

As the winter solstice approaches, we’re invited to pause, soften, and rekindle the warmth that lives within. HearthSpace is a sacred seasonal retreat rooted in a unique blend of Jivamukti and Kundalini practices—designed to support deep restoration, spiritual recalibration, and a full nervous system reset.

Held at the serene Menla Mountain Monastery, nestled in the snowy stillness of the Catskills, this immersive weekend offers a refuge from the overstimulation of the holiday season. Each day blends breath-led asana, sacred sound, and dynamic kriya with evening Yin Yoga, candlelight meditation, and the elemental healing of a traditional sweat lodge ceremony. Optional spa treatments and steam room access are available to support deeper somatic release and comfort.

In community, we’ll prepare for the solstice with warmth, intentional movement, and connection to the natural world—through quiet walks in the forest, nourishing meals, and fireside reflection. This is a time to reset your frequency, rest your heart, and remember your light.
