Seasonal Thresholds
Winter Solstice | An Evening of Honouring the Darkness & Welcoming the Light
Service Description
My deep intention for these evenings is to create a space where we can consciously mark the passage of time and honour the changing seasons of nature and our own lives. The passage of time moves quickly. Days become weeks, weeks become months, and before we know it, another season, another year has come and gone, and so much can happen in that time. We grow, we change, we experience beginnings and endings, joys and challenges, and yet we might barely give ourselves a moment to acknowledge all that we've lived through. The changing seasons offer us natural waymarkers, each with their own character, but with a central thread running through them. They offer us moments to pause, take stock and reconnect with ourselves and the rhythms of the earth and life. There is something meaningful about marking these passages intentionally, giving ourselves time to honour our experiences rather than simply moving on to the next thing. My Seasonal Thresholds evenings are intimate gatherings that honour these moments of transition. Each gathering is shaped by the season we're moving through. Using reflection, ritual, symbolism, music, poetry, gentle embodiment and shared connection, we will create space to acknowledge where we've been, where we find ourselves now, and to feel into what may be gently emerging. ________ Winter Solstice | Honouring the Darkness, Welcoming the Light Sunday 20 December 2026 | 6.00–8.30 pm | Streatley Village Hall As we approach the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, we arrive at a beautiful turning point in the seasonal cycle. The darkness has been deepening, the natural world has drawn inward, and now, almost imperceptibly, the light will begin its slow return. There is something hopeful about this moment, a reminder that even in the depths of winter, change is quietly taking place. But this is also a time when we may feel weary. Another year is drawing to a close, and each of us will have travelled through our own landscape of experiences, challenges, joys, losses and discoveries. Before we turn towards what comes next, let us pause and honour the year we've lived. What has this year held for you? What have you moved through? What deserves to be acknowledged, appreciated, or gently laid to rest? Together, we'll create a space to reflect on the year that has passed, honour the darkness, and welcome the promise of returning light We'll close our gathering with tea, cake, and time to enjoy one another's company.
