From Chaos to Calm {part 3}

Happy Winter Solstice to my friends in the Northern hemisphere and happy Summer Solstice to those in the south! Today’s episode is the final installment of the Chaos to Calm series as well as my final episode of 2021.
In today’s class we explore and honor the Mystery. The unknown forces that cause some moments to feel particularly chaotic or overwhelming and the unknown forces that tip us back into periods of calm.
We can look to the Winter Solstice as an example -
In ancient times, this was a moment when it appeared that the sun had stopped moving in the sky. The light had disappeared.
Our ancestors didn’t know that the earth orbited the sun or that its axis was tilted. They didn’t know why the sun ‘stopped’ moving or if the light would return. So they did little things to create comfort - they lit fires and made offerings; they created ritual as a way to acknowledge the mystery and the chaos as well as to calm some of the fear that arises in the face of the unknown.
Join me for one last meditation class in 2021 as we honor the mystery, celebrate the solstice and calm the chaos.
