Finding Your Third Line: Sanctuary

December 21st marks the longest night of the year, meaning we move forward embracing the return of light and its new possibilities. The Winter Solstice calls us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper patterns that shape who we are and how we move through the world.

Join The Third Line’s Kristin Cecchi and Jaia Mara of Blackberry Mountain for Sanctuary in the City—a transformative afternoon of restoration and renewal—an immersive experience designed to regulate the nervous system, awaken inner awareness, and help you rediscover sanctuary within yourself as you move into a new season of possibility.

Through an interactive archetype workshop, somatic movement practice, and a 90-minute breathwork and Soundbath journey, we’ll explore the archetypes that live within us—the creator, the protector, the healer, the visionary—and how they manifest in our relationships, energy, and daily choices.

Modern science continues to affirm what ancient traditions have long known: sound healing profoundly restores the body and mind. Research shows that the harmonic frequencies produced by crystal bowls and gongs lower cortisol levels, slow heart rate, synchronize brainwaves, and activate the body’s parasympathetic “rest and digest”
state — leading to improved sleep, enhanced focus, reduced stress, and a deep sense of inner calm.

At the height of the holiday season—when pace and pressure often eclipse presence—this gathering offers a rare invitation to slow down and reset. Whether you come solo or share it with a friend or partner, this Solstice experience is a reminder that wellness is the most meaningful gift we can offer—to ourselves and to those we love most.

The Energy of the Day
The Winter Solstice marks a sacred threshold—a time of both ending and beginning, darkness and dawn.

• The Return of Light — awakening possibility from stillness.

• Capricorn Season — embodying endurance, structure, and renewal.

• Ayurveda’s Kapha Season — cultivating warmth, balance, and clarity through movement and rest.

• The Archetype Within — connecting to the inner energy that guides your personal evolution.

The Science Behind the Experience
Each element of the day works in harmony to regulate the nervous system and restore whole-body coherence:

• Sound therapy synchronizes brainwave patterns, reduces anxiety, and enhances sleep quality through harmonic resonance and vibrational entrainment.

• Breathwork activates the vagus nerve and supports emotional regulation, improving focus and cognitive clarity.

• Somatic movement releases tension, improves circulation, and fosters mind-body integration.

• Archetype exploration enhances self-awareness and emotional intelligence, linking insight to embodied transformation.

Together, these modalities form a scientifically supported framework for renewal and regulation—a grounding antidote to the overstimulation of the season and a powerful reset for body, mind, and spirit.
