Celebrate Winter Solstice Celebration – Return of the Light

Sunday, December 21st | 11:00 am – 3:00 pm

Re-ignite your inner light.

Join us for a Winter Solstice celebration in Ireland — a heartfelt gathering to honour the shortest day and longest night of the year, and to welcome the return of the light. At this sacred turning point of the Celtic year, we come together to connect, reflect, and renew.

A Celtic Winter Solstice Ceremony:

The Celtic Wheel of the Year marks eight seasonal festivals, each spaced six to seven weeks apart.

Our Winter Solstice ceremony blends Shamanic drumming, mantra chanting, Tibetan singing bowls, and guided meditation, creating a powerful space for healing and transformation.

These group meditations bring a profound sense of community and connection. The energy you cultivate continues to support your wellbeing — enhancing balance, clarity, and peace long after the gathering ends.

(i) Sound Healing & Deep Renewal

Through the healing power of sound, breath, and rhythm, we restore harmony in the body, mind, and spirit. This gentle yet powerful practice helps to:

• Rebalance the nervous and endocrine systems
• Calm the mind and release tension
• Reconnect you with your inner rhythm and natural flow

It’s a deeply relaxing, rejuvenating way to nurture yourself during the winter season.

(ii) Honouring the Light Within

The Winter Solstice invites us to turn inward, to reflect, and to tend to the parts of ourselves that need rest, healing, and light.

As daylight slowly begins to return, we celebrate the promise of renewal — both within and around us.

Two options to choose from!

Celebrate Samhain in a meaningful way

Join us to Celebrate Samhain, the beginning of the Celtic wheel of the Year.

The Celtic Wheel of the Year comprises eight festivals spaced six to seven weeks apart throughout the year. We mark these times with a healing blend of Shamanic drumming, Mantra singing, Tibetan bowls and bells and quiet reflection.

These group meditations bring a sense of community and the effects of your practice carry through many aspects of your daily life.

They combine the healing power of sound, breath and rhythm, restoring the natural flow of energy through the body-mind-spirit, re-balancing the chemistry of your brain, your nervous and endocrine systems, and releasing chronic stress and tension from your body.

It is a wonderful, relaxing way to wind-down from your daily activities and nurture a deeper aspect of your being.

The Celtic Wheel of the Year begins with Samhain (Halloween) when the veil between the seen and the unseen is thinner and it is easier to access angels, spirit guides and our loved ones who have departed from this world. With Samhain, we enter into the darker phase of the year, a phase of letting go...,

Two options to choose from, or join us for them both!

Imbolc Greetings to you all.

Can you believe it? This year is Om Shanti 25th anniversary!
25 years of teaching, and gently guiding thousands of men, women and children on their path of wellness.

Some people regard Yoga as a science. For me, Yoga has played an important part of my healing journey and that of my clients.

When we get stressed, anxious, when unpleasant events occur, when we experience intense emotions, shock or trauma, the memory of it is stored in our body. Often the mind pushes it away as a mechanism of protection because we need to get on with our day.

To unravel certain experiences and their impact on our day to day life, making space for yourself to access your own inner temple is the beginning of the healing journey.

In dealing with stored emotions, “frozen” in time, Yoga provides an opportunity to press the defreeze button by putting the body in motion while consciously bringing the breath deeper. Adding voice through the HA breath or Mantra singing further assists the process.

Loving unconditionally can also mean taking our distance from certain people or situations because they are detrimental to our own wellbeing.
As we move deeper into our journey of wellness, we collect tools along the way that equip us to face a myriad of challenges without losing sight of the bigger picture.

My work is very much about empowering each man, woman and child who attend my classes or private consultations to tap into their own resources, gorw and blossom and tap into their inner strength, inner light.

At this time of spring, we witness on a daily basis the miracle of new life emerging from the darkness of the soil after the long winter. Hope is in the air and we feel a little burst of freshness coming through.
This is the ideal time to focus on our intention for the coming months: what do we wish to bring to fruition this year?  

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to help Virgin Media Television Ireland AM‘s viewers to beat Blue Monday with Laughter Yoga. You can watch the clip here: https://www.virginmediatelevision.ie/player/show/809/204825/0/Laughter-Yoga7(6.2%)

As always, I love to hear from you. You are the reason I do what I do. And whether our paths crossed only once or you have been a regular visitor to Om Shanti Studio, know that your presence has been noted and valued.

We are all one. By acknolwedging that we are all on a similar journey regardless of our perceived differences, we are moving closer to the ultimate goal of our presence on earth at this time. Yes, it is an extremely challenging time to be here and yet so amazingly exciting to be part of the unfolding of a new reality where love and peace take central stage and where we finally recognise ourselves in each other.

Keep in touch and let me know what would be of interest to you in your own healing journey.
Much love and Imbolc Blessings.

Keep your light shining brightly,

Marie-Angeline
