Are You Ready? Here It Comes
Not Christmas....The Winter Solstice!
For us in the Northern hemisphere, the Winter Solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night. The solstice takes place this year on December 22 at 5:30 am Universal time or 12:30 am EST. This is a magical time to celebrate the returning of the light, the changing from old to new. As the New Year dawns, this is a natural inward focused time of soul searching. A time to set new intentions and anticipate a sucessful future. It is a potent time to focus and align with transitions that are underway.
We invite you to join us at this powerful time at Yoga in Jordan to walk a unique Crystal Labyrinth. This leisurely walk of contemplation & relaxation will be marked with crystals to highlight meditation and inspiration. Karel from the Willow Den will graciously be creating a sacred space at Yoga in Jordan with 1000 quartz crystals.
Walking a labyrinth is a meditative healing tool to discover something about ourselves, deepen self knowledge and give insight into the journey of life. The destination is not important, the journey is. No experience is required. There is nothing special to do other than arrive with an open mind.

A Quick, Time Saving, Yummy, Healthy Recipe to get you through the Holidays
Guilt Free Chocolate Balls - The LOVE of my life!
1 cup soft dates (pits removed)
1/4 cup coconut oil or butter or ghee
1/2 cup organic raw cacao powder
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut or seasame seeds for coating
Directions:
Let coconut oil or butter melt at room temperature
Combine dates with coconut oil in bowl, mix well with hands
Add raw cacao & mix until elastic mixture forms
You can add vanilla, cinnamon or walnuts for added flavour
Shape into 1 inch balls, roll in coconut or seasame seeds if desired
Tip:
You can use Medjool dates, but I like using middle eastern dates that a friend of mine tracks down for me. You can find them in many local stores in clear packaging. Just avoid cooking dates for this use. Give it a try! And give me the word if you find a new love.
