🕯️The winter solstice is one of my favorite times to pause and reflect. 🌙 

It’s the shortest day of the year, but it carries so much meaning beyond just marking the official start of winter.

For me, it’s an invitation to align with nature’s rhythms and honor the same cycles within myself. Just as the Earth slows down, we’re reminded to give ourselves permission to rest, release, and reset.

This season has a quiet beauty. It’s not about pushing forward or adding more, it’s about finding light in the darkness, letting go of what no longer serves us, and planting seeds for the brighter days ahead. 🌱

Whether you’re keen for some self-reflection, celebrating this change, or looking for ways to feel grounded in winter, the solstice holds space for it all. I’ve put together a free Winter Rituals Guide to help you celebrate this meaningful day with simple, mindful practices that connect you to the season and yourself.

Comment or dm WINTER for the link to the free guide. 💙

What does the solstice mean to you? Are you finding time to rest this season? ✨

Happy Winter Solstice! 🤍

This one feels especially meaningful for me. It marks a real turning point in my healing after ankle surgery. I’ve been living in a cast since early November, moving slowly, relying on help, and practicing surrender more times than I can count. Not always gracefully, but honestly.

My cast comes off next week. 🥳 I’ll still be in a boot for a while, but even that shift feels big.

More mobility. More time outside. Less effort just to get from point A to point B. The knee scooter has been a loyal companion, but I’m ready to keep moving forward. 💫

Soon I’ll be able to drive again, once PT gives the okay. That kind of independence hits deeper than I expected. Being able to go where I want without coordinating help.

Reclaiming small freedoms that quietly shape how I move through my days.

Winter has asked me to slow down and rest in very real ways. And at the same time, this solstice reminds me that even in the darkest season, something is turning.

Light is returning. ☀️

Capacity is returning.🥹

I’m welcoming winter with gratitude, tenderness, and trust.💙 How are you welcoming this season? ❄️☃️🧤🧣🧦

I’ve spent the past few weeks moving very slowly.

Recovering from ankle surgery. Navigating pain. Releasing expectations.

Letting myself enjoy the gift of this pace, in this season. ❄️

There’s something strangely affirming about needing stillness this time of year.

Because when you live by the seasons, things like this make sense.

December *wants* us slow.

The Solstice reminds us that we don’t have to push through the dark, we can move with it. We can soften.

We can stop chasing.

Winter is a still point.

And I’ve been living that fully. Ankle up, candles lit, windows cracked open, doing less, resting more.

Not because it’s easy. But because it’s time.

If you need a gentle nudge to stop pushing, I made something for you.

The Winter Solstice Rituals Guide is a free printable to help you slow down, reflect, and tend to what matters as the light returns.

🕯️ Comment or DM and I’ll send you the link.

You’re allowed to close the year gently. 🕊️

And if you’re tired? You’re not falling behind, you’re moving in rhythm with winter. 🤍

Tonight’s Full Moon Forest Bathing at felt like a quiet exhale. 🕯️

In the moonlight, the English Woodland Garden seemed to breathe with us.

Eery branch, shadow, and reflection slowing to match the season’s rhythm.

I’m always in awe of what unfolds when we gather for Forest Bathing… how a group of strangers can arrive carrying the weight of the week and leave feeling somehow lighter, more connected - to the Earth, to each other, to themselves.

Under this November Beaver Moon - the one that reminds us to prepare, to tend our inner lodges before winter, I felt so much gratitude for this community and this practice.

For the laughter, the stillness, the shared noticing.

These are my final sessions of the season before I take a pause for ankle surgery, and I’m savoring every last moment outdoors 💚every breath of cool air, every glint of moonlight through bare branches.

Thank you to everyone who’s joined me this year.

What a gift it is to share this practice with you and to keep remembering, together, how deeply we belong. 🌕🍂

Every year around this time, life seems to speed up.

The calendar fills, the days feel shorter, and suddenly it’s like we’re sprinting toward the end of the year.

But the forest? It’s doing the opposite.

It’s slowing down. Letting go. Resting.

This Saturday, I’m guiding one of my final Forest Bathing walks of the season - just 40 minutes outside the city, on the quiet private trails at

It’s one of the most peaceful, beautiful places to step away and catch your breath.

We’ll move slowly through the woods, surrounded by peak fall color, and tune into what’s shifting, in the forest and in ourselves.

These walks always bring the loveliest mix of people; open-hearted, curious, and craving the same thing we all need more of: calm, connection, and presence.

If you’ve been feeling the rush of this season, consider this your invitation to pause - to turn inward with nature as your guide. 🌿

Spots are limited and my other fall events have sold out😳 don’t miss this one!

How do you sneak little moments of nature into your busy days? 🌿

I call them “nature snacks”.

Tiny doses of calm that keep me grounded.

Share your favorite nature snack in the comments, I’d love to try it!
