Top 6 tips to thriving this Winter Solstice

Today was to be Bellorama’s 1st Winter Solstice Yoga Retreat, however… being sensitive to the escalating pandemic situation, we decided to pull the plug.

So instead…. we wanted to pass on our 6 TOP TIPS to enjoying the longest, most luxurious night of the year.

1. Candlelit Feasting

Light a candle and grab some wild foliage from outside to jazz up your breakfast, lunch and dinner table today – instant spirit lifting Winter Solstice vibes!

2. Witness Jupiter and Saturn during the ‘Great Conjunction’

If you ever needed a grand celestial gesture to see-off this year, cast your eyes to the western skies just after sunset (fingers crossed) today . Twinkling low above the horizon will be two distant worlds— planets Jupiter and Saturn—combining almost as one. Although you can view the spectacle a few nights either side, the two planets’ ‘great conjunction’ is TODAY… the day of the longest night in winter…. weird (in a cool way)

3. Stretch 

Imagine the millions of things your body does every day… Pay attention to your best weapon and give it some love. It feels good to reach so stretch for just 5 mins to get the blood circulating… simple.

4. Cook awesome food

Stretches completed? Now get creative and cook some super yummy food, put the effort in… your worth it! 

5. Get out there 

“The world disappears when you go into it”

– Martin Heidegger, Philosopher

 Whatever the weather today, remember the powers of nature and how it soothes.

6. The gift of nature and space this Christmas

Are you incurably crap at Christmas shopping? Little bit stressed about it?

Forget the panic of catching the post on time and buy loved ones something to look forward to as we see off the longest night and look forward to brighter days.
