In the Northern Hemisphere, we are moving into the stillness of winter and the season of festivals and celebrations. Since ancient times, winter has been seen as a time for looking forward to the return of the sun, new growth, and light of spring. At AHWS we celebrate our inner light with festivals to remember that which lights the darkness of the season. Not only do we reflect on the changing of the season, we look to our traditions, histories, and cultures to remind us of our past to strengthen and prepare ourselves and our families to move into the growth and beauty of spring. A scene from a story in Kindergarten about a boy’s adventure and meeting King Winter.
