Winter Solstice: Honoring the Longest Night

The Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year and an invitation to slow down, go inward, and trust the darkness. In this episode, we explore why rest isn't laziness but preparation, how community helps regulate your nervous system during challenging seasons, and five expanded rituals to help you cleanse, reflect, feel, rest, and express gratitude.

Whether you're carrying stress levels that never seem to ease, pushing through exhaustion to stay consistent, or simply trying to get through your days—this episode offers permission to pause. Learn how to release what's no longer serving you without judgment, reflect on your year with compassion, and practice feeling your feelings without needing to fix them.

The solstice reminds us: nothing stays dark forever. The light is already turning, even when you can't see it yet. You're exactly where you need to be.

Thank you for being here. If this resonated with you, I'd love to support your journey toward feeling calm, grounded, and at ease in your body.

I'm Maren, licensed massage therapist, holistic health practitioner, reiki master, integrative somatic therapist, and sound healer. I work with individuals ready to prioritize peace and consistency in their wellness, especially when stress feels overwhelming.
