Sharda Rogell	Download Listen
There is a storyteller in our minds that thinks it knows who and what we are suppose to be and do.

With the advent of the Winter Solstice - the shortest day of the year - comes the promise that the light will return. We can honour this principle in our practice by turning towards the light that is revealed in our own minds. The goodness and purity of this light can connect us to unconditional peace and love.
