Winter Solstice 2018.
The road to celebrate the winter solstice at the farm was
lit by the moon and the night was mild and it was raining.
When there is so much conflict in life, we struggle and
become empty. Visiting the nature reserve we had to concentrate on Maslow’s hierarchy
of needs.
Shelter, food, warmth as well as this Abraham Maslow in his 1943
paper used the terms "physiological," "safety," "belonging and love,"
or "social needs" "esteem," and "self-actualization"
to describe the pattern through which human motivations generally move.
So we practiced meditation and mindfulness to be able to
cook food and warm drinks. As a group we bonded and laughed and shared Christmas
carols as we waited for the sun to rise and go from darkness to light.We then observed our vow
of silence to leave negative thoughts and feelings behind as we all prepared to
be positive and peaceful through the festive season and into 2019.
We had a great time and hope you do also, if you choose to
come to this magical place at Lime tree farm on one of our Solo days or other
events.
