🕯️The winter solstice has always carried a certain kind of wisdom.

For many, this time carries a quiet richness…an invitation to turn inward, feel what’s been waiting beneath the surface, and let the deeper layers of the self breathe.

But this season brings something else, too.

December is Seasonal Depression Awareness Month, and for many, the decrease in daylight creates real emotional changes. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can show up as low mood, irritability, oversleeping, changes in appetite, or a loss of interest in things that usually feel nourishing. These patterns often begin in late fall and lift again in spring.

At The Center, our work during this time of year has never been about pulling someone out of their suffering or making the darkness disappear. We believe in something different.

🤝Walking with you through it, helping you make meaning from what rises to the surface, and finding steadiness in the places that feel heavy. There is value in this season, and support can make it feel less isolating.

❄️If you feel drawn to mark this season in community, we’re gathering in the evening on December 21 for our Winter Solstice event. A quiet space to reflect, reconnect, and honor the longest night of the year.

🎁The holidays can bring a lot of pressure to find the “right” gift, but the most meaningful ones are often the simplest.

Something someone will actually use.
Something that supports how they want to feel in the months ahead.

Clients have been creating their own wellness bundles at The Center, choosing small pieces that turn every day care into an intentional moment.

And for anyone who would benefit from deeper support, our gift cards have been a favorite. They can be used toward any of our 1:1 services, including acupuncture, massage, bodywork, and integrative healing sessions.

If you’re gifting with intention this season, we can help you curate something personal.

🎄Come by the front desk or give us a call at 713-497-1951 if you’d like help putting together a bundle that truly fits the person you have in mind.

Many people reach adulthood carrying a version of strength that was shaped in childhood. In therapeutic work, the Father archetype often represents the part of us that learned to be steady, reliable, or in control because it helped create a sense of order in unpredictable environments.

You can usually see this inner figure in the way you communicate or care for others.

It might be the instinct to…

keep conversations calm
solve problems quickly
step into responsibility before anyone asks.

These patterns often begin as a form of protection, but over time, they can make it difficult to receive help or to let others share the weight.

When we understand this archetype with compassion, we begin to see how it shaped our relationships, our boundaries, and the roles we play without thinking. That awareness creates room for a different kind of strength, one that makes space for support and connection rather than carrying everything alone.

💙If this resonates, we’re exploring the Father archetype on December 18 through guided meditation, intuitive art-making, and group reflection with Nicole Ponce, LPC-S, LCDC and Helen Spaw, MPS.

A grounding way to reconnect with the parts that learned to hold so much.

If you need a holiday drink that warms the body and supports your nervous system, this one is a favorite at The Center.

This Holiday Hot Chocolate is creamy, grounding, and naturally rich in antioxidants, minerals, and mood-supportive nutrients thanks to raw cacao.

☕WHY IT WORKS☕

Raw cacao is one of the most antioxidant-dense foods on earth. It supports heart health, boosts cognition, stabilizes insulin sensitivity, strengthens the gut microbiome, and has been linked to a reduced risk of depression. A cross-sectional study of 13,000+ U.S. adults found that those who ate dark chocolate in the previous 24 hours were 70% less likely to report depressive symptoms.

☕INGREDIENTS☕

Âź cup cashews (soaked 4 hours + dried)
1⅓ cups coconut milk
1½ tbsp cacao powder
1 tbsp raw honey
Optional: orange zest, cinnamon, Âź tbsp vanilla extract

☕INSTRUCTIONS☕

1. Blend cashews, coconut milk, cacao, honey, and any optional add-ins until smooth.

2. Warm gently on the stove and enjoy.

Simple, nourishing, and fast! Our favorite kind of recipe.

Save this for the cozy evenings ahead!

Winter can be one of the most challenging seasons because it runs counter to everything our culture glorifies.

The natural world slows down, grows quiet, and restores itself.

Meanwhile, most of us feel pressure to stay productive, energized, and endlessly available. That tension often creates shame, fatigue, and the sense that we’re not doing enough.

💫But winter offers something far more meaningful than constant output.

Here are three truths that can help this season feel less heavy and more human:

🌑 You’re not alone. Many people feel a mix of tiredness, introspection, and emotional heaviness this time of year. Community matters more than ever because it reminds you that nothing you’re feeling is strange or wrong.

🌑 Darkness has purpose. Deep rest happens in darkness. Nature depends on periods of low light. Our bodies and nervous systems benefit from the contrast. This season invites us to trust a rhythm older than we are.

🌑 Opposites help us see more clearly. Contrast builds awareness. Rain clarifies your appreciation for sunlight. Quiet moments help you notice what’s been competing for your attention. Winter is a season of contrast, not collapse.

Winter is not asking you to push harder. It’s asking you to listen more closely. To your body, your energy, your inner world, and the natural rhythms that hold us all.

If this season feels slower or heavier than usual, you’re not off track.

❄️You’re in season. ❄️

🎁Holiday meals can be joyful, nostalgic, overwhelming, and everything in between! Mindful eating gives your body a little more ease, so you can enjoy the season without the discomfort that sometimes follows rich meals.

One of our favorite nutrient-dense, holiday-friendly snacks: Sweet & Salty Roasted Nuts!

They’re rich in healthy fats, stabilizing minerals, and selenium-packed Brazil nuts…a key nutrient for thyroid health, immunity, and hormone regulation.
WHY THIS WORKS

Brazil nuts help regulate thyroid hormones, reduce inflammation, and support immune balance. Paired with herbs, healthy fats, and mineral-rich nuts, this snack is delicious and deeply nourishing.

Ingredients:

2 cups almonds
2 cups pecans
1 cup cashews
1 cup chopped Brazil nuts
1/3 cup grade B maple syrup
Pinch cayenne pepper
2 tbsp coconut oil
1-2 tbsp each chopped rosemary, basil, thyme
Generous pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 300°F.
Mix the nuts in a bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk maple syrup, cayenne, coconut oil, and herbs.
Coat nuts evenly, spread on a parchment-lined sheet, and sprinkle with sea salt.
Bake 15 minutes on the center rack, then 10-15 minutes on the top rack until liquid evaporates.
Cool and enjoy!

It’s easy to move through life on autopilot, especially at this time of the year.

So many people learn to disconnect from themselves to keep going. They compartmentalize emotions, silence intuition, and push through stress without pausing to breathe. Over time, those abandoned parts of self start to feel farther and farther away.

Embodiment is the process of gently returning.

It’s noticing what your body is telling you.
It’s allowing your feelings to have a voice.
It’s remembering that you deserve to live in a way that feels whole, not fragmented.

Every service we offer at The Center is designed to support this return. We are here to help you rebuild the connection between your inner world and your outer life.

🖤 Winter is the perfect time to dive into your inner landscape to find, recover, and integrate any of your abandoned parts. We are here to help you become an embodied soul.

Season Greetings! We hope you enjoy December 2025

Human Design transits by our resident analyst, !

We move towards the Winter Solstice and the return of light.

The planetary energy is a tugging us between constant action and deep internal work. In the midst of the business of the season, can we practice active stillness?

This month we will move through several powerful evolutionary shifts to prepare us for 2026. It’s time to empty the cup of old limitations and dream a new future into existence.

The challenge of the season is managing energy and resources wisely, ensuring that our giving flows from true abundance rather than ego-driven overcommitment. The transits repeatedly emphasize the need for patience and sacred silence.

It’s a great time to reflect on the year’s lessons with acceptance. The whole month is an integration before the new cycle begins.

End the 2025 calendar year by honoring the universal rhythm of renewal. You made it!

Many of us internalized ideas about strength and responsibility long before we had language for them.

In Internal Family Systems (IFS), these patterns often relate to the inner Father archetype. The part that learned to support, protect, or hold everything together.

If you’re exploring this work on your own, try starting here:

✨ What did strength look like in the environment I grew up in?
✨ What emotions did I feel allowed to express?
✨ Which part of me believes I have to handle things alone?
✨ What would it feel like to let that part rest, even a little?

These reflections can be powerful on their own, and even more so in community.

We’re deepening the exploration as we continue our IFS series on December 18 through guided meditation, intuitive art-making, and group reflection with Nicole Ponce, LPC-S, LCDC & Helen Spaw, MPS.

Thanksgiving carries a lot. Joy, memory, family, grief, fullness, quiet moments, and moments that stretch us.

It’s a holiday that holds both gratitude AND complexity, and we honor that truth wholeheartedly.

As we reflect on this season, we want to share something simple but sincere:

We are grateful for you.🧡

For the people who trust us with their care.
For the conversations that open hearts.
For the courage we see in every person who chooses healing.

This community makes our work meaningful.

We hope your Thanksgiving brings a sense of grounding, nourishment, and presence…in whatever way you need most.

🧡 With gratitude,
