The Winter Solstice: A Meditation Gathering

When: 
Saturday, December 6, 2025
Where: 

Berkshire Botanical Garden

Step into the stillness of the season with a peaceful candlelit meditation, guided by mindfulness facilitator Sandrine Harris on Saturday, Dec. 6 from 4 to 5 p.m. As the sun reaches its lowest point and winter quietly begins, we’ll gather in the cozy warmth of BBG’s Center House, surrounded by art and gentle light. Together, we’ll explore the beauty of slowing down, tuning in and welcoming the introspective energy of the solstice. No meditation experience is needed — just an open heart and a willingness to pause. Embrace this sacred seasonal shift with intention and inner calm.

Sandrine Harris is a trauma-informed mindfulness meditation facilitator who weaves together practices that nurture our innate connection to the natural world. She leads immersive programs throughout the Berkshires, including at properties managed by The Trustees of Reservations, Berkshire Natural Resources Council, Gould Farm, and the Berkshire Botanical Garden. In addition to her nature-based offerings, Sandrine maintains a private somatic practice focused on healing trauma, chronic stress, and pain. Her unique approach, known as Emergent Nature, supports personal transformation through body-centered awareness and mindful connection.
