ABOUT "SOLSTICE TO SOLSTICE"
Solstice to Solstice is a modern 6-month rite-of-passage from Winter Solstice to Summer Solstice.
Each gathering is a full day of movement, breathwork, ritual, connection and ecstatic dance.
Across six months, you’ll build emotional resilience, deepen body awareness, strengthen boundaries, unlock creativity, and reconnect with your natural vitality. Each gathering offers tools to release stress, regulate your nervous system, expand your relational confidence, and reconnect with joy through movement, breath and ritual.
Participants often describe feeling clearer, softer, more alive, and more connected to themselves and community.

FACILITATOR:
Seth Newman: ''My purpose is to facilitate rituals that empower “the whole human being” through dance and music. Like Bioenergetics and other somatic processes, for me, Trance Dance was another door to inner discovery and transformation. I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express, feel and find ourselves, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.'' - Seth Newman
As a coach, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. He integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops, retreats and trainings.
His in-depth studies, trainings, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy, the Human Potential Movement, 5 Rhythms, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s, infuse his approach to living a creative, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others.
