Within Yin: A Winter Solstice Gathering with Hexagram 24 of the I Ching
Thursday, December 18, 2025
from 6–8 PM PST
Live-stream with recording
The Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year, and according to Daoist philosophy, when Yin reaches its fullness and the first stirrings of Yang return. In the I Ching, this is Hexagram 24, Return (復 Fù): Thunder beneath the Earth, the seed of light hidden in deep Yin.
Join animist spirit medium Mimi Young for a two-hour lecture-plus-ritual exploring the mysteries of Hexagram 24. Together, we will reflect on the Solstice as a threshold of renewal, practice bilateral drawing and pendulum divination to embody the rhythm of return, and explore Thunder ☳ as the seed-trigram of renewal through trigram transformations and mini-readings. We will learn how to fire scry, gazing into the living flame as the mirror of the returning light.
