I've been getting a lot of calls from folks asking about when this year’s Winter Solstice is. “It's this Sunday,” I tell them. “Oh, great! Sunday!” they happily reply.

It is an exercise of discipline, a test of faith, a karmic obligation. During a recent ceremony of deep cleansing and release, I passed a set of Guatemalan worry dolls around the circle to help us relinquish the nagging apprehensions and insidious anxieties that sap our strength and resolve. All those sneaky, nasty, niggly worri... Read More
