Yule marks the Winter Solstice and is typically a 12 day celebration filled with gratitude and generosity, starting on Dec 21 and going through the end of December.

It's a celebration of the rebirth of the Light, after we pass the shortest day and longest night of the year. It’s a time where winter is modeling sacred rest, stillness, reflection, and resilience.

Because of the discrepancy between the lunar calendar (354 days) and the solar calendar (365.25 days), lunar-based cultures consider these "extra 12 days" to be mythic time, time outside of time, where the ordinary rules of life are suspended and the veil between worlds is thin.


Did you know?

The idea that Santa Claus has shamanic roots tied to psychedelics comes from interpretations of Siberian and Arctic shamanic traditions. This theory proposes that many elements of the Santa Claus story—his appearance, behavior, and even the flying reindeer—may be influenced by shamanic practices, particularly those involving the Amanita muscaria mushroom.

Even though the exact date is December 21, we can celebrate this whole season.

In this episode, you'll learn...

  • the origins, history, and symbolism of Yule
  • what Nature is modeling for us physically, spiritually, and energetically, and how we can align
  • 10 easy and enjoyable ways to celebrate Yule
  • 12 journal prompt themes to help you reflect and process the inspiration of this season
