ABOUT THIS EPISODE
As we approach the Winter Solstice and the longest night of the year, I’m delighted to share with you what has become a joyful tradition of reflection, contemplation, and looking ahead to the year to come.
In this conversation, I rejoin Manda Scott and Della Duncan for a collaborative solstice offering from The Hive, Accidental Gods, and the Upstream Podcast.
As we gather to reflect on what’s been a rather unusual year, we share some of the key themes of enquiry and growth we’ve explored on our podcasts, we trace what we find when we each go upstream from the challenges we’re facing today, and we explore the question of what most ignites us as we step into the months ahead.
At the end of the conversation, we’ll each offer a question to you to dwell with, and Manda will guide us in a beautiful guided meditation to help us reach into and connect with this moment of the season.
This is always a special episode for me, and I’m so very grateful to be able to dive into conversation with these two passionate, thoughtful and extraordinary women. I hope you find it inviting and inspiring, and I wish you a restful, restorative Winter Solstice and a fruitful new year.
Recorded on 7th December 2022.
