A mindful solstice craft activity

December can bring a lot of stress and busyness, and it's easy to lose track of what's important. I hope this craft project allows you to slow down, and enjoy creating an ornament in celebration of the sun.

This month at the club we are celebrating the solstice. Here in the southern hemisphere, the sun will create the longest day of the year on December 21st and the shortest in the northern hemisphere.

Cultures across the world at this time of year have acknowledged the importance of how the sun's cycle brings life to the world by holding a celebration at this time of the year.

The sun influences the seasons and gives life to the seeds that become the food that nourishes us - among many other wonderous gifts.

It's radical to slow down and pay attention to things that really matter at this time of year. Take your time and enjoy the methodical process of this craft activity.
