~ In Celebration of Winter ~
My Antidote to Christmas Craziness!

Whenever I’ve been out in nature in the past few weeks, I have noticed just how still everything is, how quiet. I can feel the energy of the earth going deep down into herself.

I was in ancient woods just a few weeks ago, an old haunt from my childhood days. It was a beautiful still morning, rays of the sun like fingers through the mists shone through the trees and frost had etched the spiders webs in diamond lights. The soft sound of leaves tumbling gently towards the earth was all I could hear as the trees let go so gracefully into their winter garb. Their nakedness, their vulnerability showing through and yet un-minding, not fearful of letting go, simply knowing that it’s time.

There is a time for all things, and this is the dark time, the still time right now.
The time when I feel a deep need to go inside for inspiration, making time to work out what I really want for the next part of my life.

The way that most of us live life these days pushes against this natural cycle, goes against our natural rhythms, which means that we can often feel weary and exhausted at this time of year. I think it’s important to honour the dark times for what they hold within them… the stillness, the depth, the insights, and the inner peace that comes with wholeness.

Honouring where I am within the cycles of life, helps me to stay connected to the earth, to myself and to others so that I can be at peace with my world, and dream into being the kind of world I want to live in.

I have created a Winter Solstice Celebration this year that fits our modern world; that speaks to us symbolically, mythically and in a real and heartfelt way. Everyone is welcome.

This is a night where we can re-connect with love and belonging
A night where we can create the life that we are here to live
When together we can dream a kinder, more loving world into being
