A Tradition of Light
Hi, I'm Christine McGreevy
the founder of The Solstice Circle...
an intentional family tradition
that grows gratitude,
generates deep listening,
and nourishes meaningful connections
at Home
I'm on a mission
to help families of all ages, shapes, and sizes
create a deliberate, slow, safe, ongoing practice
that welcomes sharing our hearts, out loud...
narrating the rich territory beneath the surface of our busy lives.
Here's the surprising truth:
even though families live together, nurturing our relationships, on purpose
is so far down the list of daily tasks that it's routinely overlooked.
The Solstice Circle provides a simple, accessible roadmap
that leads us back to each other.
We begin
by decorating candles, then we step into an even deeper place together.
In the darkened house on the longest night
when we say:
Thank you for...
I’m proud of you because...
I appreciate the way you...
I’m grateful for...
I love you because...
We become the light for each other.
Does talking about feelings with your family seem impossible?
Have you been taught that focusing on feelings is dangerous?
I used to believe emotions were off-limits too.
Then over thirty years ago, I stepped beyond that cultural caution tape.
Yep, it was scary at first. But I was curious, so I pulled my young family along with me.
After our first wobbly, brave steps, we just kept returning every winter solstice to practice.
Are you longing for meaningful connections with your people?
But spending all your time on everything else?
The Solstice Circle is your Solution
After 35 years I know for sure:
Solstice is not just a concept or a lengthy list of nice ideas.
It's a tangible, do-able, step-by-step tradition of closeness.
I envision handmade Solstice candles in countless homes across the world
illuminating an ever-growing circle of courageous, open hearts.
Join us and step into the circle this December.
