In this episode, Lara J. Day puts the “Soul” back into the The Winter Solstice. We discuss the importance of aligning with nature to achieve our highest human potential and Lara introduces the practice of The 13 Sacred Nights, a transformative ritual rooted in ancient wisdom.
Laura J. Day is a neurogenic qigong practitioner and creator of The 13 Holy (now Sacred) Nights Oracle Deck, about the practice’s pagan origins, the magical energy of the winter solstice, and how acknowledging nature’s cycles can lead to a healthier, more empowered life. Prepare to be guided through the practice, which spans from December 24th to January 6th, and involves drawing specific oracle cards to set intentions and receive guidance for the coming year. This time-relevant conversation emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life and the value of ancient traditions in today’s modern world.
