Solstice is one of those days that cultures around the world recognized as significant: a moment to dwell in the beauty and paradox of light and darkness. For us in the northern hemisphere, winter solstice can be a time to receive the gifts of deep darkness: rest, incubation of dreams, and the freedom as well as hardship of death and endings.
In this week's podcast, I go over 5 components of a simple ritual that you can adapt for your own family and community.
If you try this with your family, or have other practices or resources you use with your family, please let me know in the comments!
