Celebrate the wondrous cycles of nature and of our souls on the day of the Winter Solstice. Embrace the darkness of the season and look to the return of the light through guided meditations, music, poetry, teachings, and quiet contemplation. Treat yourself to a long, calming deep breath and time for reflection as we prepare for Christ’s appearance in the world.
