Winter Solstice Ritual: Intention Setting & Letting Go

As we approach the Winter Solstice — the longest night of the year — we’re offered a quiet pause before the light begins to return.

In this gentle intention-setting practice, you’re invited to reflect, release, and consciously choose what you’d like to grow as the coming light unfolds. This is a calm, grounded space to consider what you’re ready to leave behind, and what you want to nourish in the months ahead.

You can listen while walking, resting, or simply moving through your day. There’s no right way to do this — just an opportunity to check in with yourself and set a clear, supportive direction. You can use this practice in the days leading up to the Winter Solstice, on the solstice itself, or anytime you feel drawn to reset your energy and intentions.

If you’d like to go deeper, I’ve created longer Winter Solstice meditations and a full library of guided practices inside The Healing Sanctuary, which you can explore through the links below.

Thank you for being here. May the coming light gently support everything you’re ready to call in.
