Today is the day that the light begins its return! We are gaining precious minutes (moments) of sunlight every day now. 


Happy Solstice.


As we celebrate the gradual creep towards the return of the yang (the light, the sun, the expansion, the hope, the heat) please don’t miss the gifts of the dark. It’s from the unknown, from gut instinct, from a place of anchoring and a deep humble bow that we can be so connected inside that the darkness becomes light, the unshaped and unspoken  can begin to manifest and find form. 


The darkness is the space we are all born from and it's a space we return to daily so that we have the energy and clarity to rise and engage with each new day. 


Winter is an excellent time to get more sleep, to dream, and to process and receive, so that when the light peaks in June you’re ready to completely unveil yourself within our shared world. 


May you find easeful rest this wintertime.
