For many years now, the winter solstice begins my personal time to descend inward into retrospection in looking back at the past year and all that has happened: all of my successes, all of my challenges and all that I have learned in the process. This helps me to come into 2018 feeling ready to stand stronger than ever in myself and my work.
And WHOA... hasn't 2017 been quite a year?
... I have walked through some gargantuan initiations.
... I have had to move through mounds of fear personally and professionally.
... I have focussed inward to shed a lot of my old stories and beliefs
...and I have found my biggest focus has really been most about my working from the inside, out. (no big surprise there)
When I say descent, what I mean is the descent into my inner world - through all her peaks and valleys – where the darkest nights of the year have become a great teacher and chaperon to my own insight and wisdom.
Some would say this descent has been known throughout time, myth, and story as a descent into the underworld. Others see it as the most potent nights to pray or connect to our higher selves. Often, we hone how to vision with clarity and precision for the upcoming New Year.
The dark nights expand to cultures worldwide with unique and diverse wintery wisdoms and rituals.
So, on one of my most favorite days of the year, I decided to launch the special wintery podcast series I created for all of you – to support you in your own descent – The Soulfood Sessions.
The Soulfood Sessions are bite size morsels of wisdom from this year's Yoga of Eating 2018 online course and community that opens for registration December 29th. These podcasts are small plate tasters from the many wise teachers we have on our special guest roster this year, some personal anecdotes from me and some awe-inspiring success stories from a few of our past participants.
I hope you enjoy this free content, as much as I love creating it for you:
Today, in this very first Soulfood Session you will:
- Hear how myths and archetypes can provide touchstones for our own personal journey inward.
- Listen to the beautiful myth of 'Persephone and the Underworld'.{one of my favorite myths that I find just perfect for this auspicious day}
- Learn to honor and embrace your own unique descent (that feels just right for you).
Because… what I used to consider a cold, stressful and tender time of year has now become a time I cherish.
Today, in this very first Soulfood Session you will hear the beautiful myth of 'Persephone and the Underworld'. {one of my favorite myths that I find just perfect for this auspicious day}
With a warm heart and lots of solstice love...
Sue
