Winter Solstice 2024

A Winter's Evening gathering around the fire at The Farm for Wellbeing.

You’re invited to dive into the inner focused time of Winter.

This will be a peaceful inner tuning contemplation of self inquiry, to honour the depths of the heart and the Winter Solstice.

You are invited to join us around the fire for storytelling, sharing of food and community Circle offering in its darkness and the light of imaginal unfolding. So come and be prepared to explore and meet the depths of yourself in the celebrating of the Winter Solstice. There will be an opportunity for discovery in the revealing light of your hearts greater truth and deeper wisdom. Slowing down, as you take a step by step journey into the woods and walk the Labyrinth of introspection.

Here the inward process attunes to the rhythms and cycles of nature aligning with your essential character. There is so much to be said about winter's season and the changing of a life-cycle. We hold this Winter Solstice to support you and offer an opportunity for you to explore the inward journey. Within this you get to walk behind the veil and draw back the curtains of the interior depths to look out the window onto your patio of life. This is the internal time of year, when the Great Mother calls her children home. Come and take part in this exploration of meeting the depths of yourself this mid winter as we also celebrate the Winter Solstice together at The Farm For Wellbeing.
