2007-12-19 Practicing With Darkness And Light At The Winter Solstice 59:46
Donald Rothberg
The earth at the winter solstice invites us to embrace the darkness - as a stopping and stilling, an entry into the unknown, a being with difficulty, a fertile and generative source - and invite the light that comes out of the dark. We connect these themes with our practice and suggest particular further ways to practice at the solstice.
