Dear Community,
Today, when many are together with family, we remember that this is the season of shorter days and longer nights. It is an important season to remind us to go within and to find the inner light inside. Today is simply a reminder that the light is all around us, even in the darkest of days.
We invite you as our gift to you to join day 3 of the 11-day Meditation Challenge! It is an open-armed gift, so simply, sign up below, to receive reminders, tips and daily inspiration throughout the challenge. Scroll down below for the info you need!

The Season of Lights
The Light that is within us, is reflected all around us in these winter nights. This is the season to find the light within. Enjoy some of the lights throughout Europe, and may this brighten your day! Guides from across Europe captured the light for us to see.
Some words of understanding to uplift your Soul…
If this indeed be the hour in which I lift up my lantern,
it is not my flame that shall burn therein.
Empty and dark shall I raise my lantern,
And the guardian of the night shall fill it with oil and he shall light it also.
And like the seasons you are also,
And though in your winter you deny your spring,
Yet spring, reposing within you, smiles in her drowsiness and is not offended.
And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields…
~Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

In 2026, multiple outer planets change signs, initiating long-term cycles that will shape leadership, communication, technology, belief systems, and personal sovereignty for years to come. This is not a subtle year. It is a year of ignition.
