Winter solstice
Happy Winter Solstice!! Today marks the shortest day of the year, the shift into winter, and also the beginning of each day growing a little longer and lighter. Sometimes winter’s brutal cold prevents us from recognizing this growing light and the hope it can bring. It brings to mind the quote from Amanda Gorman’s inaugural poem, “There is always light. If only we are brave enough to see it, if only we are brave enough to be it.” In these challenging times affirming the light in ourselves and in the world is both an act of resistance and one of self-care. As we honor this shift in the season today, take time to reflect on how you can offer yourself opportunities this winter to nourish your emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing; to tend to your own inner light. It is essential to also identify the support you need from your community and how together we can support each other’s light as beacons for ourselves and others.
Saturday Morning Yoga on the 23rd and the End of Year Restorative Retreat on the 30th are wonderful opportunities to nourish your inner self . I would love for you to join me.
As the Christmas holiday approaches, remember to pause, breathe, and allow yourself to soak in the small moments. Your presence can be a gift to all those with whom you connect as theirs can be for you. You may experience big emotions with the Full Moon in Cancer peaking on the 26th.
