Winter Solstice

This evening our women's group had its winter solstice celebration. I helped organise it with a friend, so it felt extra special being a part of planning my first celebration to share with others.

We had a lovely gathering, followed by a shared meal. We brought along some greenery as decoration (symbolises continual, year-round, health and wellbeing), candles to welcome the longer days and return of light and warmth, and a little music, singing and drumming.

We'll have our own little family winter solstice on the 21st as well (the eve of the winter solstice) which we all look forward to.
