Embracing the Light Within: A Winter Solstice Reflection

By: Dr. Sue Morter

December 16, 2025

As the longest night of the year unfolds, the Winter Solstice invites us into a sacred pause, a moment to reflect, to feel, and to remember. This is not just a celestial event; it is a profound opportunity to reconnect with the essence of who we are. Together, as we gather in this shared space of love and divine kinship, we honor the light that resides within each of us.

The solstice is a gateway, a cosmic alignment that allows pure, undistorted light to descend upon the planet. It is a time when the veils between the seen and unseen are thinnest, offering us a chance to transcend the noise of the outer world and turn inward. In the stillness of the long night, we are called to embrace the darkness, not as something to fear, but as a rich, prolific void where creativity, inspiration, and transformation are born.

Every culture, from ancient traditions to modern celebrations, has recognized the power of light during this time. Whether through the flicker of a candle, the glow of a fire, or the radiance of our own hearts, we are reminded that light is not something we seek, it is something we are. The solstice is a mirror, reflecting back to us the truth of our divine nature.

This coming weekend, as we celebrate together, we are not just marking the turning of the seasons. We are participating in a sacred dance of creation. The light that descends upon us is the same light that rises within us, urging us to let go of old patterns, release what no longer serves, and step boldly into the fullness of our being. 

The solstice teaches us that in the deepest darkness, the seeds of light are sown. It is in the quiet, introspective moments that we find clarity, courage, and the spark of inspiration to rise anew. As the days grow longer from this point forward, may we carry this light with us, allowing it to illuminate our path and guide us toward our highest potential.

Let this be a time of remembrance, a celebration of the divine essence that we are. Let us honor the cycles of life, the rhythms of nature, and the infinite possibilities that lie within the unknown. And as we rise from this sacred night, may we do so with open hearts, clear minds, and a renewed sense of purpose.
To continue this journey of light and transformation, I invite you to join me for a special Winter Solstice evening event. Together, we will deepen our connection to the light within and celebrate the beauty of this sacred season. Click here to learn more.
