Celebrate the Winter Solstice
As the year winds down, we welcome the Winter Solstice — the longest night of the year. This special day marks the turning point where darkness gives way to light, a time to reflect, release, and prepare for new beginnings.
Celebrated annually between December 21 and December 23, Winter Solstice represents the longest night and shortest day of the year. It symbolizes the darkness before the return of light and encourages us to release old habits, emotions, and patterns, making space for renewal and growth.
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Winter Solstice aligns with the principles of yin and yang. This solar term marks the turning point from the dominance of yin energy to the gradual return of yang
Just as nature shifts toward balance, it's the perfect opportunity to nurture yourself and align with the energy of renewal.
