The Invitation, in Motion
A few seconds of what the morning feels like.
Plays muted first. Sound is yours to choose.
Winter Solstice · Founder’s Edition
We meet before the sun does.
The city is still dark. There’s something hot to wrap your hands around, and a circle of blankets and cushions waiting for you. We’ll settle in for a guided meditation and be there to see the sun come back. From here, the light gets to stay a little longer.
Then we’ll pour another cup, open our journals, and take our time. There’ll be flowers to arrange, henna, and a drink if you’d like one. By ten, the DJ will be on, and the woman who sat beside you in the quiet might be the one pulling you onto the dance floor.
That’s After the Afters. A morning for women who want a little stillness and a little mischief, with time to enjoy both.
Come cozy, come glammed, or bring something to change into. If you have a favourite blanket or cushion, bring it along. We’ll have a spot for you in the circle either way.

Join the Circle ♡The Morning · 6 AM – 12 PM
One sunrise, held at the centre of everything.
It begins at sunrise.
Before dawn, we’ll gather in a circle and settle into a guided meditation as the first light comes in. Afterward, we’ll take that feeling into the rest of the morning. We’ll write a little, make bouquets, get henna, and eventually find our way to the dance floor. The light is coming back, and we’ve made a whole morning of it.

Guided Sunrise Meditation to Celebrate the Winter Solstice
The Dharma Doll
Just before sunrise, while the city is still dark, we'll find our places in the circle. We'll begin with our eyes closed, taking a few breaths to settle in. As the sky begins to brighten, we'll open our eyes and continue the meditation, taking in the first light together. We've gathered to honour the start of winter and welcome the light that will stay a little longer, day by day.
8:00 – 8:20
Silent Re-entry & Tea
Quiet reflection, tea, journals and gift bags. The room stays soft — no rush.
8:20 – 9:00
Guided Journaling Circle
Fioreleo
A reflective writing circle led by Cass, exploring authenticity, self-discovery and intention.
9:00 – 10:00
The Art of Cultivation & Adornment
Fioreleo · Henna by Dua
We move across the hall into the larger studio. Open exploration: bouquet-making with Fioreleo, henna by Dua, light foods, cocktails, photography and conversation.
10:00 – 12:00
The Art of Indulgence & Dance
The DJ takes centre stage in the studio for the final two hours, with the bar and light foods open alongside — music, dancing, florals, henna and celebration.
Two rooms, one morning: we begin together in the first room, then move across the hall to the larger studio for the activations, bar and dancing. The morning stays deliberately quiet until 10 AM — the DJ set opens the final two hours, once the reflection is complete.
Candlelight, flowers, and a morning that belongs to you
