Dark autumn days, before still point of the solstice and the return towards the light. An instinctive urge to hunker down and turn inwards. Midwinter folktales are filled with dark mysteries: the old year must die to feed Spring's rebirth. Energy levels shift. In my practice I am drawn to softening, slowing down, to stillness and deep contemplation. Even as we light fires and candles against the external darkness, there is an invitation to turn towards our shadow; hold space for and honour our inner darkness and depths.
