Solstice 108

On the evening of the winter solstice, together we’ll gather in candlelight to move through 108 sun salutations, a contemporary ritual inspired by yogic tradition and the cycles of nature. In yoga philosophy 108 is considered auspicious, it appears in sacred texts and malas used for meditation. Together, we’ll utilize this modern ritual to mark seasonal change, turn inward, honor the play of light and dark and bid farewell to the year. 

Register early, bring a mat, a pen and a journal. 

We anticipate that completing 108 sun salutations may take between two and two-and-a-half hours.

Proceeds from this event will benefit Second Harvest of Silicon Valley. This organization aims to eliminate hunger in our community and distributes nutritious food through a network of nearly 400 partners at more than 900 sites across Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.
