Dec 2025 Solstice Message and Ritual

Our ancient ancestors recognized the Solstice as a threshold opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been and the journey ahead. Whether we are moving into longer days or longer nights, the teaching is the same: life changes, and we are called to change with it. 

The turning of the season and the constant movement of life requires that we take time to pause and remember that which is most important in life. 

The Solstice is a time to reflect on healing and reconnect to our center. Healing is the return and empowerment of connection. It is remembering what is true - that we belong to the Earth, to the spirit, to one another - and we are not alone. 

As we cross this threshold, a simple ritual of connection is reflect on the following:  

• Release the burdens of the past that keep you from living fully.
• Receive and Witness the support of the creation as it shows up for you.  
• Recommit to right relationship—within yourself, within your home, within community. 
• Revel in Gratitude for it all.  

May this Solstice bring clarity where there has been confusion, generosity where there has been lack, courage where there has been fear, and fortitude where there has been hopelessness. May we be guided by those who came before, and may our path ahead become a blessing to those who will come after. 

Love and gratitude,
