A Sacred Pause at the Turning of the Year


At the time of Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, we reach a threshold of deep stillness. The darkness is longest. The outward energies of the year have been spent. And we are invited to pause.


This moment offers a powerful opportunity to release what has completed its cycle and to gently welcome the energies of the year to come.


We each carry an intuitive rhythm that mirrors the cycles of the natural world. By consciously marking seasonal turning points, we recalibrate our inner lives to the wisdom of the sun, moon, and earth.


Winter is not an absence of growth — it is a time of rooting, inner listening, and quiet preparation.



Honoring Darkness, Welcoming the Light


Winter Solstice is both inward and celebratory.

Even as we remain in the dark season, the sun has begun its return. Light will grow again. Life will warm and move forward.


This ceremony honors the stillness of winter while acknowledging the quiet return of illumination and possibility.
