Warm greetings on this very cold winter day! ‘Tis the season of short days and long, dark nights. A time to surround yourself with loved ones to celebrate the end of yet another year, and to welcome in a new year ahead. I always find comfort in the winter solstice, it gives me an excuse to cozy up, light a fire, and make a hot nourishing meal. It also gives me a chance to pause – and reflect on the past year, before hitting the reset button and planning ahead for the next year. It’s a time that feels like the “in-between”, a stillness that comes with dark nights and snowy landscapes. The snow insulates and muffles out sound, making it even easier to shut out the cold, dark world and go inward with a warm cup of tea (or hot chocolate if you prefer), next to a crackling fire. I hope you can find some time amongst the bustle, to cozy inward and treasure these moments this holiday season.

There are some workshops and winter retreats that can help you cozy up and connect this winter. I will be leading a couple of creative workshops, both involve vision board collage and setting intentions for the year ahead. Join me in kicking off the New Year together this 2023!
