The MARCH EQUINOX marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – from south to north. At this moment, the Earth's axis is neither tilted away from nor towards the Sun.

WINTER SOLSTICE
02:56
|
|||
|
The solstice, which falls on Friday, Dec. 21 this year, marks the first day of winter. We often speak of turning inward during these darker months, becoming quiet and introspective, staying home more often, sleeping longer.
Winter is a significant time of ritual, reflection, and renewal. We cultivate a deeper connection to nature and family. Winter can become a time of feeding the spirit and nurturing the soul.
The Winter Solstice has been celebrated in cultures around the world for thousands of years. This start of the solar year is a celebration of Light and the rebirth of the Sun and is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
