Winter Solstice 2025
This year marks our 4th annual Winter Solstice celebration. On December 20th, we’ll be celebrating with another evening of light, creativity, reflection, and community.
What is the Winter Solstice?
Each year, because of the tilt of her axis, Earth’s north pole will point the furthest from the sun itwill in that revolution. In the Northern Hemisphere, we recognize this event as the Winter Solstice.
The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year. Afterwards, the days get progressively longer until the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. From that point on the days get shorter again up until the Winter Solstice, and then the cycle repeats!
Humans have long celebrated the Winter Solstice, with traditions focusing on renewal and the return of longer days. Here at Journey: Healing Together, we recognize the holiday as symbolic of how healing begins in darkness and moves toward light. We hope you will join us in our celebration!
