We welcome all members of AODA, all Home Circles, Nemetons, and Groves to participate in our Winter Solstice Hearth Ritual. Our other three rituals focus on healing land, sea, and sky as a collective group. Our Winter Solstice ritual recognizes that in order to do this broader healing work of the other three holidays, we must also take care of ourselves, our homes, families, and communities. We recognize that caring for people also helps us care for the planet, and we cannot do the broader work of healing if we do not also care for ourselves. Thus, at the Winter Solstice, we take time to tend our hearths, both outer and inner, to prepare us for the work of the rest of the year. More details on the ritual for both solitary druids and groups can be found here.
