Description

Through The Trees Collective in partnership with Black Food Sovereignty Coalition Present: A Winter Solstice Gathering.The Winter Solstice is a time when the Sun ‘stands still’ and the seasons change. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is the shortest day and longest night of the year. During this time we are encouraged to enter the "dark night of the soul" - to sit with ourselves and our own truths. In the darkness, our thoughts don’t matter. It is our feelings that can truly shine. It is our emotional voice that gets a chance to speak, and we must allow it to be heard. When we sit in the darkness, and just allow ourselves to be, what feelings emerge? What comfort/discomfort grows? What happens when we just allow ourselves to be... This Gathering will include different parts all led by Women of Color business owners who are sharing their specialties to help usher in the change of season in nature and in ourselves.
