A friendly heads up: There will not be a group tea meditation next week, but there will be an extra special group meditation the following week to welcome in the new year!

The Winter Soltice and Yule arrive on Monday, December 21. This is a joyous occasion and there are many ways to celebrate! You can find more information about the holiday and some great ritual ideas in the Spells8 Yule Celebration Ritual.
