What this retreat is

II

We see out the darkest night of the year and welcome the light back: slowly, warmly, in no hurry about stepping into the turn of the year.

The solstice is a turning point. You can close a year without making a list of it, and live it through the body instead: let go of what has been, sit in the quiet and listen for where you want to go next.
