The Winter Solstice is Time for Reflection and Renewal
The Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year—a time when the world pauses in stillness, and we’re invited to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves. In our latest Bring Me 2 Life Podcast episode, Shannon and Selo dive deep into the energy of the solstice and how we can use this sacred time to recharge, embrace creativity, and set empowering intentions for the season ahead.
The solstice teaches us that even in darkness, there is light waiting to emerge. Much like the cycles of nature, we too go through seasons of rest, reflection, and growth. It’s a powerful reminder that moments of stillness are fertile ground for transformation and creativity.
Creativity and the Winter Solstice

Reflect on what you want to release from the past year.
Set intentions for the creative projects or dreams you want to nurture in the coming months.
Allow yourself the space to rest and recharge, trusting that this stillness will fuel your next burst of creativity.
