As we enter the month of December, we stand at the doors of yet another paradox. On one hand, we are getting ready to enter the depths of winter. It is the time of the great white bear, the time for frozen landscapes and the stillness of hibernating animals. For us humans, too, it may be a time for diving inward, for reflecting, incubating, dreaming. It is indeed a productive time, although the productivity may be more internal than manifest. On the other hand, as we stand at the threshold of the Winter Solstice; the wheel actually starts to turn away from winter - with the days becoming longer and nights shorter. At some deep level, Mother Earth, in all her wisdom, knows that reality is complex, multi-layered and textured. So, while we settle in for dreamtime, we do so with the hope and anticipation of Spring that follows inexorably.

This year, we will celebrate the winter solstice as a community. Come expecting to dance, reflect, share, and make resolutions about which seeds you will nurture during this dreamtime. Also, if you are inspired, bring some food to share to contribute to the holiday spirit.
