(11 min CLASS) Seasonal Living for Winter Solstice w/ Sophia Bouwens

As we approach the Winter Solstice, the darkest day of the year, we are in the time of greatest yin. This is the time we are called to reflect and participate in nature, to heal ourselves, and live in harmony with the world around us.

This is the time to do our deepest work, so we can embody the changes we wish to see, create and participate in, in the world around us. This is a time to observe, rest and rejuvenate.

In this video, Sophia talks about the seasonal harmony we can gain with winter - the time of peak Yin, Kidney and the Water element.
