For many people in the US Daylight Savings Time means short days and long nights. How do we find joy and thrive during seasons of waning light and early darkness? On this podcast we'll talk about finding Light in the Darkness - Cozy traditions to embrace 'hygge' - and how it's important to not live in denial of (both spiritual and physical) seasons. Learning to embrace the darkness can mean embracing Joy in all of life's ups and downs. I hope this helps you to enjoy this coming season with a spirit of warmth and joy.

Santa Lucia - English Translation
Night comes with heavy steps through our land, calling.
Sunlight, the earth forgets; shadows are falling.
However dark the night, rising with candles bright,
Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!
Though long may be the night, hope, she is bringing,
Hear now, the maid in white, silently winging,
Hushed wonder in the air, Lights glowing in her hair,
Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!
"The darkness soon shall flee valleys in shadow,
Sunlight I can foresee, over over the meadows,
The sun will come again! Rise in the sky to reign!"
Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!
Translated from Swedish by Tamsyn Spackman
