By Susan Staley No matter how you plan to spend this winter holiday season from now until New Years Day 2021, it is bound to be as bittersweet as a bar of dark chocolate. A mix of longing, new territory, and various pressures with creative ways of connecting with others, celebration, and hopefully some peace. Whatever this season is like for you, we’ve compiled a short list of herbs and practices you can lean into during this time. With the shortness of the days everything can be touched with a feeling of reflection, and this can both be challenging and beautiful. This year, may we try to welcome the hidden gifts in the strange “newness” of the season. And we hope that the following list, and the suggestions therein, will be a little like a helpful friend along the way.
