A Winter Solstice Celebration
We yesterday celebrated the winter solstice at the Paracelsus Centre near Einsiedeln, Switzerland.
We were a small group but the celebration gave us great joy. With mantrams, rituals, exchanges, study and visualisation exercises we tried to fathom the qualities of this special time of the solstice energy shift and new moon. The Sun shed golden light while we were walking along the Sihl river. The whole day there was some magic in the air.
Please find here some impressions of the celebration.

Thank you very much for your feedback. (It is a bit difficult to read with the capital letters/inversion of the letters.)). Yes, it is important to revive the rituals – this is the energy of the incoming 7th ray of rhythm and order. It will unfold, maybe not with the old but with new kinds of rituals.
