Summer Solstice
A solstice lasts only a moment. If you’re a person who’s tuned in to the out-of-doors, you know the peaceful, comforting feeling that accompanies these signs and signals of the year’s longest day. In 2025, the solstice moment will fall at 10:42 p.m. on June 20 for us in eastern North America.
On this solstice, may you be filled with renewed energy, vitality, and a sense of inner joy.

Winter Solstice
The winter solstice represents the turning point where the days start getting longer, signifying a new cycle of growth and potential.
For 6 months the days have been getting shorter as the darkness grew. But on the Winter Solstice, the Light returns. From here the days will continue to grow longer, brighter, warmer until the Sun is strong enough to return life to everything in nature. (The Seasonal Soul)
