Alma by Candlelight | December 18

A Holiday Evening of Stillness, Sound & Connection

Friday, December 18, 2026 - 5:30pm - 8:30PM | The Alma Sanctuary | Pelzer, South Carolina

Before the year comes to a close, give yourself an evening to simply be.

December has a way of filling every available moment.

The gatherings. The celebrations. The lists. The expectations. The beautiful chaos of the holiday season.

And somewhere in the middle of it all, we sometimes forget to make space for ourselves.

This December, we're inviting you back beneath the trees for a special holiday edition of Alma by Candlelight.

Imagine the soft glow of hundreds of candles, cozy blankets, warm seasonal drinks, gentle movement, and the soothing sounds of a restorative sound bath.

An evening to step away from the holiday rush, enjoy the company of others, and savor a little stillness before the year comes to an end.

Consider this your invitation to slow down.

The Experience

Candlelit Slow Flow

We'll begin with gentle, intentional movement to release tension, reconnect with the breath, and create space in both body and mind.

Our practice is accessible to all levels, including those joining us for the very first time.

Restorative Sound Bath

As the movement comes to a close, we'll settle into stillness for an immersive sound experience.

Wrapped in blankets beneath the candlelight, allow yourself to rest, listen, and simply receive.

Holiday Sips & Seasonal Grazing

Afterward, gather around the table for seasonal wine, festive handcrafted mocktails, warm herbal tea, and a beautiful grazing spread inspired by the flavors of the season.

Firelight & Connection

The evening doesn't end when the practice does.

Stay awhile. Gather by the fire, share a conversation, enjoy another sip, and soak in the warmth of community.

Because some of the most meaningful moments of the season happen when we aren't rushing through them.

A Little Stillness in the Season of More

This evening isn't about doing more.

It's about remembering how good it feels to do a little less.

To put down the lists.

To soften the shoulders.

To enjoy the season without feeling the need to make every moment productive or perfect.

To be present for the life happening right in front of us.

A gentle reminder that rest, connection, and simple joy belong in the holiday season, too.
