This week, Fable and the Verbivore are back from a two-week hiatus to share - diving into cultural and family traditions, winter tales, winter soltice, and cultivating silence and engaging in the practice of rest.

Our conversation takes us many place, but here are a few things we touch on:

As we near the longest day of the year, as human beings we tend to start to shift our focus to reaching for warmth, gathering with our loved ones, and looking for the light.

We touch on the centuries old heritage of spinning tales around the fire - warm stories and ghost stories. Things that remind us we’re alive.

The diversity of winter holiday traditions and celebrations, and how it looks (and smells) uniquely for each individual. And that is part of the beauty of this time.

Rest and nourishing ourselves are things we have to work at - as well as make time and space for in our lives.

We hope you enjoy this episode and wish you all blessed holidays!

Keep reading, writing, and putting your voice out there!

Into the woods,

Fable & The Verbivore
