Susanne Marie ~ The Light Inside the Dark: In Honor of Solstice

In honor of Solstice we will meet in the unmoving stillness, resting with equanimity, holding what we encounter within with kindness and allowance. By entering darkness, we are invited to know ourselves more intimately, surrendering to that which does not push away what we contain. By making peace with what is denied and feels uncomfortable, we open to the power of yielding to the wisdom of inner reconciliation. Solstice in Latin translates to: the standing still of the Sun. Together we will stand still, rest and gather nurturance within our beingness, opening in allowance to what is, which initiates what can become. Only by meeting ourselves with allowance, do we evolve beyond resistance. Solstice is an ideal day to rest, heal, and prepare for the longer days ahead.
