With nature dormant all around us - this is a good time for us to also be still, quiet and rest - a time to reflect on the passing year and as the light begins to return after the shortest day - a time to renew our inner light and focus.

'From the most Ancient Days our ancestors have gathered at Solstice.To witness the rebirth of the unconquerable Sun at first light. Moving from its long gestation to triumph over the darkness.
The divine light gathers strength to bring new hope, peace and joy. Whispering life’s secrets into awakening dormant seeds. With the warmth of love and the mysteries of the spirit.
We rekindle the turning of the year from it’s dark coals. To guide and sustain us as we journey through the coldest times. Honoring the rebirth of the inner light within ourselves.'
