Here we are. Right on the cusp of equilibrium. Light. Dark. But only for a moment. Then it’s a slide into darkness. The Fall Cycle ends around the time of the Winter Solstice. What do you want to be celebrating on the Solstice? What do you want to be feeling as you move into the Winter months? This is a moment to dream into the future and imagine into what you want for yourself, know for yourself, are calling in for yourself. The next 13 weeks will be in service to this vision. So, dream. Dream into it. What clarity? What peace? What burden laid down? What excitement? What will you be celebrating on Solstice?

Now the fun part. As you dream into it. Write it as if you were writing it on December 21st. As if it's already happened for you. As if the dream came true. Write it in the first person present.

Example: There has been a profound shift in how I orient to how I invite people/energy into my life/my projects/my family. I am now so much more aware that when I am inviting, I am creating an opportunity for someone to inhabit their gift and for that gift to synergize with a gift of mine. I used to invite people from a place of hesitancy, guilt, shame, unworthiness, lack of confidence, or as a show of my insufficiency. I am beyond grateful to feel how that is shifted in me. And how embodied the new understanding is. That when I invite people into something I care deeply about, I am knocking on the door of their gifts and saying Do You Wanna Play With Me? And there is nothing shameful or insufficient or to feel guilty about in that.

Write for 10 minutes. Just keep your fingers/pen moving. See what comes. Surprise yourself.

Now. Using joy, sadness, fear, shame and anger, what are the predominant emotions you are feeling now? And where in your body are they present?

Write for 3 minutes.

What gifts that you already possess will be essential for your Solstice Celebration to come true?

And what gifts, laying latent inside of you are aching to come up to support you in the dreams you celebrated on this coming Solstice?
