Sanctuary: A Nervous System Reset & Deep Restoration Winter Solstice Workshop with Danielle DelVecchio
Saturday, December 19
2-4pm • Wellesley
Sanctuary is an immersive restorative experience devoted to nervous system regulation and deep, intentional rest - a return to the sanctuary within. This workshop gently guides the body and mind out of chronic activation and toward balance, offering space for mental, physical, and emotional tension to unwind on a deeply embodied level.
Rather than emphasizing movement or complex sequencing, Sanctuary centers on down-regulation, awareness, and rest as a skill. Through a carefully curated blend of practices, students are invited to soften, settle, and recalibrate - learning how stress is held in the body and how restorative techniques can be used with intention to support resilience and overall well-being.
Most of the workshop is experienced lying down in a supportive, soothing environment, allowing the nervous system to shift from effort into integration.
This experience includes:
Gentle Kundalini-based movement and breathwork moving through the chakras
A guided I AM Yoga Nidra™ meditation
A Reiki-infused sound bath with alchemy crystal bowls, drums, rattles, tuning forks and gong
Students will leave feeling calm, grounded, and deeply restored, with a clearer connection to their internal cues and practical tools for supporting nervous system regulation in daily life.
Sanctuary is ideal for anyone feeling overstimulated or depleted, or for those curious about yoga and meditation as pathways toward deep restoration and self-connection.
As this Sanctuary falls at the time of the Winter Solstice, the workshop offers a meaningful opportunity to pause and honor the turning of the season. The solstice marks the longest night of the year, a sacred threshold that invites deep rest, reflection, and renewal. As the light slowly begins its return, this time of year encourages us to slow down, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with what truly nourishes us. Together, we create space to settle inward, restore the body and mind, and welcome the quiet emergence of light and new beginnings.
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in & bring a washcloth or eye pillow & a yoga mat (yoga mats are available to rent in studio for $3)
