Welcoming the Winter Solstice: Practices for the Longest Night
Hi friends,
With the Winter Solstice arriving this Saturday, December 21st, I wanted to share some practices I’ll be embracing as we welcome the Winter season.
As a reminder, the Winter Solstice marks the official start of Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and it’s the shortest day of the year. After the slow progression of fall, where the days shorten and the light wanes, we reach this peak of darkness. Here in Montana, the cold and snow have settled in, and while the days will begin to lengthen after the Solstice, the chill will only deepen.
