This is your chance to honour the darkness, leading up to winter solstice, with this 10-day winter writing ritual.
Hi there! I’m Janelle.
I grew up in the far northwest of Canada where darkness and winter isn’t metaphor, it’s everything.
Up here, we honour solstice like a heartbeat. The darkest night is the turning point.
That’s why I created this annual offering that invites you to slow down, sink in, and remember your mythic self.
The stories and prompts I share are old and strange and wildly alive. They’ll stir your creative spirit and soothe your nervous system.
Let’s not rush to return to the light.
Let’s linger here, in the dark.
Ready for a slower, deeper December?
