🕯️ Return to the Light: Join Me for a Winter Solstice Retreat
Jillian Finkbeiner | DEC 13, 2025
As the earth tilts into its longest night, the Winter Solstice offers us a sacred pause — a moment of stillness before the slow return of the light.
This time of year invites us to reflect, release, and realign. To remember what matters. To rest in the dark without rushing the dawn.
If you're feeling the call to slow down, breathe deeper, and honor the seasonal turning inward, I’d love to invite you into something special:
📅 Sunday, December 21, 2025
🕕 6:00–8:00 PM (Pacific / your time zone)
📍 Held online via Zoom
💸 $44 General Admission | $88 VIP Experience
👉 https://www.breathewithjillian.com/schedule/8dd49859-335d-4dd2-8e6d-b6a96f80a702_1766358000
This 2-hour retreat is a sacred container to reflect on the year behind you, gently release what no longer serves, and reconnect with your own inner light — all through ritual, meditation, movement, creativity, and community.
We’ll create a spiral altar together (with natural ingredients you likely already have), move through breath and sound, journal, and visualize what we’re ready to welcome in the season ahead. And we’ll close in candlelight, with a group oracle reading and a blessing for the path forward.
All are welcome. No prior experience with yoga, ritual, or meditation is needed.

“The light returns — not in haste, but in time.
And I remember: so do I.”
With love,
Jillian
