What is Winter Solstice?
Winter Solstice is celebrated by people around the globe. It happens twice a year, once in the northern hemisphere and once in the southern hemisphere (6 months apart). It marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. For us in the northern hemisphere it happens in December, usually on the 21st or 22nd. After winter solstice the days get longer and the nights get shorter.
Many see the winter solstice as the beginning of winter. This seasonal transition provides a time for self-reflection, rebirth, and renewal. A time to refresh stagnant energy and rejuvenate the spirit!
