YULE/ WINTER SOLSTICE WORKSHOP
With Rick and Sheila Blackwell
Our seasonal circles will be held close to each of the 8 Celtic Festivals, our aim is to connect with the energy of the season and therefore with nature, as the wheel of the year turns nature moves with the flow of this cyclic energy in a dance of constant change, this change is present within each of us although modern life can draw us away from the Earth and the changing seasons, we can be overtaken by technology and an endless drive to consume rather than create.
At the Winter Solstice we reach the depth of darkness with the longest night of the year. Darkness has reached its peak.
"Now we start to wonder: will this continue? Will the Earth grow darker and colder as the Sun disappears into the south until only darkness is left? But at Yule a wonderful thing happens. The Sun stops its decline and for a few days it rises in about the same place. This is the crucial time, the cusp between events. The Sun stands still, and everyone waits for the turning.
In our heads we know the light will return. But in the darkness of Winter, can we be sure? do our hearts believe what our heads tell us? Will the light keep its promises? We all have moments of darkness, when we don't know how much deeper we will go before the light starts to return (or even if it will). The world has moments too; it understands us, and lives as we do.
The Sun does start north again and the light comes back. In the world, in our lives, the light comes back.
