It’s winter. It’s cold, and there are 10 million reasons to stay indoors. And yet, a little time in the woods is often exactly what we need to shake off any stagnation we’ve built over the past few months.

If you want a good reason to go outside, consider looking closely at tree twigs.

Why twigs? Well, if you want to learn how to identify trees, it’s not a bad idea to study twig characteristics.

But wait. Why learn how to identify trees at all? If you want to read your surroundings more effectively and develop a deeper relationship to wild places, learning the names of trees can help.

Winter is actually a good time to practice this skill. Pictured here are buds and twigs of 16 trees (among hundreds) that grow in eastern North America. Notice how colors, shapes, sizes, and textures vary between species. Studying these details can turn you into a wild tree enthusiast, which just might inspire you to go outside on a day that gives you 10 million reasons to stay indoors.

Learn the acu-points of the ear to help heal yourself, your friends, and family from chronic conditions.

Join us for an immersive workshop on Auriculotherapy, also known as ear acupuncture or ear reflexology. This alternative medicine technique is based on the concept that the ear serves as a micro-system, reflecting the entire body through acupoints located on the auricle (the outer portion of the ear). By stimulating specific areas of the ear, Auriculotherapy offers a holistic approach to treating physical, mental, and emotional conditions.

In this workshop, you will learn about the acupoints in the ear, each corresponding to different areas of the body. We will highlight the most effective points for common conditions. Through hands-on practice, you'll explore how to administer seeds using an ear probe and a hemostat.

Vaccaria seeds, gold, silver, and magnets are used to target specific health concerns. You will learn why we choose each kind.

Unlike traditional needles, the ear seeds can stay on for up to a week, offering lasting relief from ailments like headaches, pain in the back, neck, shoulders, knees and other joints, as well as stress, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, and more.

You’ll also gain insight into protocols designed to assist with addiction, including smoking cessation and overcoming drug dependence.

Auriculotherapy offers a powerful tool for both quick relief and long-term healing, and this workshop is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning more about this gentle, yet effective, therapy.

Happy Winter Solstice. I found this beautiful prayer and used it as part of my solstice ceremony today. May these words ring true for you as we move through the wheel of the year and make way for 2026!

A Solstice Prayer (author unknown)

Beginning now, I choose to walk in a new way on planet Earth, to attune to her as I remember cosmic truth and embody my divine purpose.

I forgive myself and others and open my heart to receive the infinite blessings of divine love flowing throughout the universe and coursing through my very veins.

As I attune to the Earth, the Moon, the planet and star beings in the heavens, I breathe with universal forces of creation. Divine Source enters me, filling the cells and spaces of my being with pure love and light. I am healed, whole, and renewed.

May I be gentle with myself and others as pain, fear and suffering are released. I bless all I encounter and embrace my fellow beings, all situations and circumstances, all thoughts, feelings and emotions, as reflections of my own divinity.

I joyfully claim my destiny as a force for positive change at this turning point in Earth's history. Together with my brothers and sisters of all colors and faiths, I will shape the future in ways that serve humanity's highest evolution and fulfill the needs of generations yet to come.

Aligned in truth, I am.
