Today is the shortest day of the year and the longest night, after today, the days will start to become longer and signify the return of the sun. The teachings I have received has been to honor this day, to host a feast and a fire. To feed the ancestors and to pray in ceremony. WInter becomes a time of rest and introspection. Take time to pray for others who may be hurt and struggling, show empathy, compassion and kindness to others. I wish you Happy Solstice, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I will be posting regularly in the new year...welcome 2022.   I was blessed to be able to present for the Journey to Hope Society. They are based in Saskatchewan and do some amazing work ing Suicide Prevention. They recorded the session and you can find it here: https://youtu.be/qsYlmnURK2Ehttps://youtu.be/qsYlmnURK2E CMHA Edmonton Region is running another session of "Living Life to the Full".
