🕯️ Our Winter Solstice gathering was filled with candlelight, grounding scents, quiet laughter, and the kind of stillness that only arrives when we pause long enough to listen.
You can create a small Winter Solstice Yule offering using what the land around you is already offering:
🚶🏽‍♀️ Begin with a short walk outside. Notice what’s already there: a fallen branch, leaves, pine needles, seed pods, bark, or dried grasses. Gather what draws your attention; intention begins with noticing.
🪵 Choose a piece of wood, bark, or branch as your base. Last night, we worked with white birch, the tree of beginnings and renewal, but any wood that feels steady and supportive will do.
🍊 Add leaves or evergreens for resilience through winter, citrus peels or dried fruit to call in warmth and light, herbs or kitchen spices for clearing and blessing, seeds or dried grasses to ground your offering in Earth’s life force.
If your Yule offering is fully natural and biodegradable, you may burn it safely outdoors or return it to the Earth, placing it beneath a tree or near water. As you release your offering, notice where you are being invited to ground or welcome more light?
As we move into the new year, you may feel a gentle stirring toward deeper clarity, alignment, or change. If so, we invite you to explore what’s unfolding next at Zia:
