Winter solstice – tend to what happens in the dark

This is the time when the sun is at its lowest in the sky and only graces us with its presence for a handful of hours. A time when nature calls us to look within and embrace the gentle slowness of the season. We are truly in it now, this darkest part of the year. Solstice reminds us to be with the darkness, even if only for a while.
