Winter Solstice Tradition + Q&A Livestream 📱

Join me live on Sunday 21 December at 6 pm GMT, 1 pm EST, for a festive and thought provoking deep dive into the Winter Solstice. In the first half of the livestream we will journey through midwinter traditions from around the world, exploring fire, feasting, ancestors, rebirth, and the many ways humans have ritualised the longest night of the year. Expect myths, surprising historical details, and a clear distinction between what we know from the sources and what modern practitioners have creatively developed.

In the second half, the floor is yours. Bring your questions, curiosities, and favourite solstice themes for a relaxed and lively Q&A. Whether you are interested in history, contemporary practice, or simply want to get into the solstice spirit, this is a perfect way to welcome the returning light together.
