The longest night of Winter Solstice is for going within for a bit of introspection and self-reflection. It is also celebrating gaining light each day, leaving behind longer nights. Practice going within to explore the internal space while finding your light. A Winter Solstice practice will be a 45-minute session of yin yoga with a sound bath of singing bowls + chimes. You will begin in yin yoga; grounding the physical body and calming the mind. You will slowly end into a deeper sound bath to allow the mind to explore a meditative space.

Her search gives her an opportunity to investigate and feel a world outside the shelter of the children's home and convent. Her relationships with her siblings, mother, and stepfather become driving forces as she determines what path she is to follow.
