Wintering | Earth Frequency
Why
Wintering?
Winter, in yogic philosophy, is viewed not only as a time of rest but also as a profound metaphor for rebirth. While the season appears dormant from the outside, beneath the surface it is a fertile period for inner transformation. Just as nature rests beneath the cold surface to prepare for new growth, winter invites us to turn inward, face our shadows, and engage in the work of self-reflection. The darkness of winter symbolises the unconscious parts of ourselves, where unresolved emotions, fears, and patterns often lie hidden.
Embracing this darkness with compassion allows us to confront these aspects with the principle of ahimsa (non-harm)—treating ourselves gently, without judgment. This stillness fosters self-compassion, offering us the space to heal and process in preparation for renewal. The quiet months of winter teach us that growth and healing are often nurtured in times of rest, reminding us that after every dark period, light and transformation await, just as spring follows the winter solstice.​
​
Winter is traditionally associated with the Vata dosha, which is one of the three primary energies or doshas in Ayurvedic philosophy. Vata is made up of the elements air and ether (space), and it embodies qualities of coolness, dryness, and movement. During the winter season, these qualities are heightened, as the colder temperatures and often drier air reflect the Vata energies.
​
Winter’s Vata characteristics encourage stillness and introspection, offering a natural invitation to slow down, turn inward, and rest. While Vata can bring creativity and clarity, if out of balance, it can also lead to feelings of anxiety, restlessness, or dryness, both physically and mentally.
​​
To counteract these energies we bring in the earth frequency by grounding, rooting into the land. We allow ourselves to be like the soil, dark and full of potential. So the practices you will explore within this container are designed to offer you a deep sense of connection to your body and the earth.
What's inside the container?
Wintering | Earth Frequency is a 3 month container designed to support you through the process of deep self-exploration the lens of yogic philosophy.
​
What you will receive:
​

These will be teaching core practices of ahimsa (self-compassion), self-care through ayurvedic massage and gentle breathwork to support our transition into Spring. These will be facilitated by a combination of TEMPLE and external teachers.
​
