Winter Solstice︱Shannon, Kate, & Cate Middletown Strong: Looking Up with Russell Library

The winter solstice is upon us! Too many of us enter the darker months with a feeling of dread, but what if it didn't have to be this way? The solstice is a time to embrace the return of the light and rejoice in the gifts that the colder months have to offer. In this conversation, Kate will share a little history surrounding the winter solstice. Shannon will offer ideas for solstice celebration and Cate will share positive winter practices inspired by the Nordic and Scandinavian culture. Enjoy winter hikes in the woods, intentional time with loved ones, cozy reading sessions by the fire, and endless cups of tea! Happy Solstice!
