Winter Solstice brings us to the longest night of the year, with its sacred, sheltering darkness and stillness, so necessary for renewal and revitalization.

Waning Moon offers us the opportunity to release and reflect every month, gaining a clearer perspective of what has passed and clearing the way for new opportunities to manifest.

We’ll align with the blending of these two powerful cycles to cultivate our wholeness as we transcend the conflict between gratefully celebrating our joys and genuinely mourning our losses.  Both are crucial aspects of our journeys of healing and personal growth, and being able to witness and support others.

After settling into a gentle meditative state, we’ll strike a light-hearted note with a nod to the Airing of Festivus Grievances, which welcomes our playful selves to face difficult issues and feelings we’ve been carrying, then consider whether we want to invite these travelers to journey with us through another year or leave them behind.  Have they served their purpose and brought the learning, healing and transformation we needed, or do we still have more to explore in their wise company?

We’ll take some time to journal briefly, then you may wish to crumple, burn or scribble on your paper, and you can share if you like, but it’s not required.

Then we’ll consider the space created by these things we’ve released, and what may arise in that newly-freed place of possibility.

We’ll charge the process with deep Reiki healing and support, joining our intentions in wishing for the greatest wellbeing for ourselves and one another, and the greatest good of all.
