DECEMBER 2023
As we move into sacred darkness found in the time of Winter Solstice, we'll explore together wisdom from spiritual texts that support us walking steady even when it's dark, in nurturing the flame within, and also harnessing the energy of light to guide us in times of transformation, transition and change.
