Winter Solstice: honoring the dark & calling in the light

On December 21st, we celebrated the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. As we welcome more light into our days, this is the perfect moment to embrace the darkness and set your attention on what you'd like to call in. 

Below are the Writeshop prompts from December 2019. We focused on reflecting & releasing on the past decade; and calling in dreams and setting intentions for the next decade.

December Writeshop Prompts

  1. What do you appreciate and acknowledge yourself for over the past year/decade? Consider your accomplishments, proudest moments, relationships, etc. Celebrate yourself!

  2. What challenges have you faced over the past year/decade? Welcome in the darker side of you and acknowledge it for what it has provided you with. 

  3. What gives you energy? What lights you up? What activities, lessons learned or values would you like to carry with you into the next decade?

  4. What drains your energy that you’d like to let go of? What distractions or limiting beliefs would you like to leave behind? Perhaps there are toxic relationships, stagnant jobs, limiting beliefs or habits, material possessions… anything that isn't aligned with your values that you'd like to let go of so you can open up space for more light in 2020. Here is a releasing ritual from The Moon Deck that might interest you.

  5. What do you envision for yourself in the next decade? What do you want to call in? In this moment, where do you want to direct your attention? Dream big here and open yourself up to everything that could be possible for you. Where energy goes, energy flows.

  6. Set intentions for your next year/decade based on your vision. Use present tense, declarative statements like, “I am... I will... I create...”

  7. Share! Tell a friend, family member, partner, me (!) about your intentions. There is power & deeper connection available in vulnerability.

Is there one word or phrase you've identified that you can use as a mantra for 2020? If so, I'd love to hear. My word for 2020 is "expansion" while my declaration is, "I trust my contribution is required." More on this to come.

Much love to you!
