Winter Solstice – the shortest day and longest night of the year; 

The festival of rebirth

Solstice means “standing of the sun” Glennie kindred Sacred Celebrations        

Solstice is the still point at the centre; from this point everything is possible.

When the sun reaches the peak of its journey, stops and then begins the return journey toward the light.

From the winter solstice the sun is waxing or growing towards its peak at the summer solstice in June.

Now is the time to stop and take stock of what the last 6 months have brought to you and look forward

to the direction in which you would like to travel and grow into in the next six months.

For the next six months we are moving into the light, expanding into our fullest expression.

Focus on our Journey so far this year

As we come to the shortest day of the year on the 21st we focus on our Journey this year and how things are flowing for us in every area of our life. 

This is a time to pause, reflect, rest and begin to plan our path forward. 

On the darkest day of the year we acknowledge that there is always a glimmer of light on the horizon. 

We can now focus our intention on the return of the light. 

Asking what can I release to lighten the load?

What can I shed to allow my journey forward to feel lighter

New roots are growing

Even in the depths of Winter new roots are growing, bringing stability and nutrients to the plants and trees. 

Deeply buried bulbs are beginning to send up the first hardy shoots.

Nature has slowed down waiting for the energy to change at the solstice and for the warmth to slowly but surely return. 

The solstice is the suns birthday, a celebration of its rebirth.

This is the time for us to bring our inner journeys out into the world, birthing our visions for the way ahead
