On the Medicine Wheel, the Winter Solstice (and the Summer Solstice) ride the cross winds of the Wheel. These cross winds are like a pause that brings change – a change in Nature that we feel in our bodies. This pause can feels like the space in between the breath. This time between the inhale or the exhale is about change.

The Winter Solstice, specifically, is the time to go within and sort out the intentions of what we want to bring forward. On the Medicine Wheel, the north winds encourage patience and inward growth, a renewal of the mind and body. The north winds assist to establish intent and purpose for the seeds for the coming New Year such as abundance, prosperity, love and illumination.

Surrounded by the magical natural beauty of South Wind Equestrian center, I invite you to gather around the fire with me at a very special drum and rhythm event. We will come together as community to collectively pause and set our intentions for this important season of reflection.

**As always, drums and percussion will be provided for sharing, or feel free to bring your own.**

You are welcome to drum, and dance, or be still and listen. This is an inclusive community where all are welcome. No musical experience required.

Enjoy hot cocoa, s'mores by the fire and a joyful community in rhythm.
