🌿 Winter Solstice – Sunday 21st December 2025 🌿

Today we reach the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year and a profound seasonal threshold.

In nature, this is a time of deep rest. Trees stand bare yet alive with quiet potential, soil holds the promise of future growth, and the natural world reminds us that stillness is not stagnation — it is preparation.

The Solstice has long been honoured as a moment of renewal, when communities gathered outdoors to acknowledge the turning of the year and the gentle return of the light.

🌱 An invitation to slow down
🌱 An invitation to rest and restore
🌱 An invitation to reconnect with nature’s wisdom

At Harmony in Nature, we see time and again how simply being present in natural spaces helps restore balance, perspective, and wellbeing — especially at these key seasonal moments.

Birch New Moon | Saturday 20 December 2025 @ 01:44 (UK time) 🌑🌿

This New Moon arrives in the heart of winter, just as the season turns towards the Winter Solstice and the slow return of the light.

In the Celtic tree tradition, Birch is the tree of renewal, purification and new beginnings. The Birch New Moon offers a gentle invitation to clear away what no longer feels aligned and to plant fresh intentions — not through effort, but through presence and simplicity.

New Moons are traditionally associated with beginnings and visioning. They offer a natural pause point to reflect, reset and reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world.

If you can, take a quiet moment outdoors — noticing the winter landscape and the subtle promise of what is yet to come.

🌠 Geminid Meteor Shower | 13–14 December

Meteor showers offer a gentle reminder that nature extends far beyond the forest and the field — right into the night sky above us.

The Geminids, peaking mid-December, are known for their brightness and consistency, but even without clear visibility they invite a sense of perspective, awe, and grounding within the greater natural cycles.

A lovely moment to slow down, step outdoors, and reconnect with the wider web of nature — land, sky, and beyond 🌿🌌

🌑 Reed Samhain New Moon – Thursday 20th November (Micro Moon)

Today brings a gentle Micro New Moon, arriving 20 days into the Samhain season — the natural descent into stillness, rest and reflection. At this time of year, the landscape quietens, wildlife conserves energy, and the trees take their final steps towards winter dormancy.

The Reed Moon has long been associated with thresholds and transitions. Just as reed beds bend and sway at the meeting place of land and water, this part of the cycle invites us to spend time at the quieter edges of our own lives: noticing, grounding and listening.

Some lovely ways to honour this seasonal shift:
🌿 Take a mindful walk and notice what the land is shedding
🌾 Reflect on one thing you’re ready to release
🍃 Set a small intention that supports your wellbeing through winter
🌱 Sit with a tree or hedgerow and observe what’s changing

For those who enjoy bringing seasonal awareness into their month, Joanna has written a Reed Samhain New Moon blog over on her Harmony Healing site — a warm blend of nature wisdom, lunar guidance and simple reflective practices.

Her next Full Moon Guided Meditation will be on Thursday 4th December, offering a gentle monthly pause to support natural rhythm and emotional balance.

The Leonid Meteor Shower is peaking overnight on 16th–18th November, bringing some of the fastest and brightest shooting stars of the year. Even if you only spot one or two, taking a moment to pause beneath the night sky can be deeply calming and restorative.
At Harmony in Nature we often talk about how wellbeing isn’t limited to forests and green spaces — it also includes the wider natural cycles of the Earth and sky. Meteor showers are wonderful reminders of perspective, stillness and the beauty of looking up.
Jo has written a gentle, informative blog on the Leonids, including:
🌠 What the Leonids are
🌠 When and how to view them
🌠 Why November skies can feel so magical
🌠 How celestial events support seasonal connection
It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys simple, accessible nature-based moments of awe.

If you do head out to watch, wrap up warm and give your eyes a little time to adjust.
Wishing you clear skies ✨

🕊️ Armistice Day • 11th November
Each year, we pause in stillness to remember those who gave their lives in the hope of a more peaceful world. 🌹
The red poppy — rising each spring from once-barren battlefields — reminds us that even after devastation, life finds its way back to the Earth. 🌾
It symbolises not only remembrance and sacrifice, but also renewal, resilience, and nature’s power to heal.
As we honour the fallen, we might also reflect on how all life returns to the embrace of nature — transformed, yet never truly gone. 🌍
In every seed that germinates and every breeze that stirs the leaves, we feel the quiet continuation of life’s great cycle.
At 11:11, pause outdoors if you can. Breathe with the rhythm of the living world and allow a moment of gratitude for peace — in remembrance, in unity, and in hope. 🌿

🌿 Forest Bathing: Step Into Serenity 🌿
Sunday 16 November | 11 am – 2 pm | Harry Edwards Foundation, Surrey Hills

Join Joanna Bristow-Watkins and Katie Robinson for a three-hour guided Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) session in the tranquil woodlands of the Harry Edwards Foundation near Shere.

Slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the natural world through mindful sensory invitations, quiet pauses, and a gentle “treelaxation” meditation—closing with a soothing woodland tea.

🍃 A common misconception is that Forest Bathing involves swimming or entering water. In fact, “bathing” refers to immersing your senses in the forest atmosphere—listening, noticing, breathing, and simply being present.

💚 Reconnect • Restore • Rebalance
🕊 £39.77 | Spaces limited – early booking recommended

Reed Full Moon Supermoon – Nature’s Night of Fire & Light 🔥

Wednesday 5 November, 13:19 (GMT)

Tonight’s Full Moon brings the second of three consecutive Supermoons, glowing larger and brighter as it reaches its closest point to Earth. 🌾

This month’s Reed Moon, in the Celtic tradition, falls on Guy Fawkes Night, when bonfires and fireworks light the November sky.

It’s a beautiful opportunity to step outside and reconnect with nature’s rhythm:

🌙 Notice how the moonlight transforms familiar places.

🔥 Feel the warmth of firelight against the cool night air.

🍂 Reflect on the year’s closing chapters and what you wish to release before winter.

Being aware of the lunar cycle can gently restore balance, presence and calm in our everyday lives.

✨ Jo will host an online Full Moon Guided Meditation (7.30–9.30 pm) themed around Samhain, the Celtic New Year, and the Fire Festival of transformation.

🍂✨ Welcoming Samonios – The Celtic Month of Seed Fall ✨🌿

As November begins, we step into Samonios, the first month of the Celtic Year.

Meaning “Seed Fall”, this ancient turning of the wheel invites us to slow down, release, and trust the quiet work of winter. 🌱

In the natural world, fallen seeds rest beneath the soil, awaiting the returning light. It’s a reminder that rest, too, is part of growth — and that what seems dormant is simply gathering strength for renewal. 🌾

🍃 It’s also World Vegan Day – a celebration of compassionate, sustainable living that honours our connection with all life forms on Earth. 🌍💚

As the nights lengthen, take time to notice nature’s stillness, breathe with the trees, and feel the rhythm of the season. 🌲✨
