A Soulful Afternoon of Rest, Ritual & Connection

ILANA KOSAKIEWICZ

Saturday 20th June 2026, 2pm – 4.30pm

As the wheel of the year turns once more, we arrive at the Winter Solstice - the longest night and darkest point of the year.

A sacred seasonal threshold.

In a world that encourages constant movement, productivity, and pushing, winter invites something radically different:

✨ stillness

✨ reflection

✨ rest

✨ softness

Winter is the most yin season of all.

It’s the season where nature slows down, energy turns inward, and we are invited to do the same. A time to replenish depleted nervous systems, reconnect with ourselves, and honour what this season is quietly asking of us.

And that’s exactly why we’ve created this special community gathering at Grassroots Yoga 🌙

This afternoon is an invitation to slow down intentionally and honour this powerful seasonal transition together.

By Donation

This event will run on a donation basis, with proceeds going toward a local charity/community organisation (to be announced).

DUAA DAHHO

Sunday June 28, 11:15am - 1:15pm

A beautiful and sacred 2hr ceremonial breathwork journey where we dive in on the topic of Sonder: meeting the many selves, a ceremonial Breathwork journey into the inner and collective worlds. 

Sonder is the realisation that everyone around us carries a story and a life as deep and complex as our own. To honour this truth,  I invite you to join me on a two hour journey, a space to meet the many selves within and around us through the wisdom of the breath. Together, we breathe to remember that we are not separate, but many reflections of one shared life.

Strictly limited to 12 spots.

COST: $80 (GR members $72)

Please note, this breathwork journey is not suitable for those that are pregnant or with serious heart or mental conditions.

HOLLY KENT + HEIDI ROGERS

Sunday Aug 2, 1:00pm - 3:45pm

Session 2 is shaping up to be something special.

We'll be diving deeper into the science behind our behaviours — why we react the way we do, why certain moments can hijack us, and how understanding this unlocks something powerful: compassion. For yourself first, and then for the people around you when things get hard. We'll also be slowing things down with Yin Yoga, holding space for longer, breathing deeper, and learning how to restore balance when life gets loud. Expect more breathwork, more stillness, and more tools to carry with you beyond the mat.

This session runs 30 minutes longer than the last, giving us room to turn the workshop into a real conversation. A more collaborative space where we can sit with your questions, explore what's come up for you, and go deeper together.

PHOEBE DUBAR (IKSRE)

Sunday Aug 02, 7pm

Join us for a deeply restorative and balancing 60-minute sound bath with Phoebe Dubar (IKSRE). Let waves of soothing sound from crystal bowls, gongs, and layered instruments wash over you, guiding your mind and body into a state of deep rest while harmoniously balancing the Chakras (energy centres) of the body. This immersive sonic journey will help release tension, quiet the mind, and leave you feeling grounded, spacious, and renewed.

Every sound bath is a different experience depending on the moon cycle or theme. Allow the sound waves to facilitate a deep meditative state, allowing connection with your inner self and the energies of the full moon. This is a time of heightened intuition and clarity, making it easier to receive insights and guidance.

Phoebe uses a combination of crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, chimes, gongs, hand pan, Monochord and vocal toning. Participants lie down and relax as they are “bathed” in sound, slowing down their brainwaves and lulling them into a deep state of meditation and healing. It’s a profound experience for many, with no experience or skills required by its participants.

COST: GRY Members $40 / Non-members $45
