BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
If you’ve been craving a deeper way to move through winter, one that honors the mystery, the magic, and your personal inner fire, this conversation will feel like stepping into a portal.
The winter solstice brings us into the darkest days of the year — a time when many of us feel pulled between the desire to slow down and the very real demands of December. In this deeply nourishing conversation, I’m joined by herbalist, teacher, and author Marysia Miernowska to explore how we can tend our inner flame, reconnect with the Earth, and find meaning in the fertile darkness of winter.
Marysia is the founder of the School of the Sacred Wild, author of The Witch’s Herbal Apothecary, and a beloved voice in the world of earth-based spirituality and traditional plant wisdom. Together, we dive into seasonal rhythms, herbal allies, and the deeper emotional and spiritual threads that winter invites us to explore.
In this episode, we explore:
- The winter solstice as a portal into fertile darkness
- How to navigate the tension between inner winter and outer world demands
- Practical ways to stoke the inner flame during the coldest months
- Warming herbs and lifestyle practices to support circulation, vitality, and mood
- The role of plant spirit meditations in opening intuition and connection
- Reclaiming voice and power, healing the witch wound, and trusting ourselves as leaders
- Why January can be reclaimed as a true month of rest and dreaming
- The beauty of tending hope, innocence, and inner inspiration through seasonal practice
This episode is heartfelt, grounding, and enlivening- a balm for anyone moving through burnout, seeking clarity, or wanting to feel more connected to themselves and the cycles of nature during the winter season.
