Yalda & Solstice: A Longest-Night Ritual to Return to Light
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
December 21st is Shabe Yalda, the Winter Solstice, and my birthday—every year. In this episode, we honor the longest night with a gentle ritual: release what’s heavy, choose your Winter Word (a value to guide your season), and design one 10-minute action you’ll actually keep. We’ll also talk about discerning outside opinions and staying loyal to your path.
Try this tonight (checklist)
- Light a candle or lamp you love
- Set out something seasonal (pomegranate seeds, walnut, or any fruit)
- Title your page: “Longest Night Ritual”
- Write 1 line for each: Release / Carry / Connect
- Choose your Winter Word (e.g., Presence, Steady, Trust, Health, Clarity)
- Design one 10-minute action that honors it (day + time)
