About this listen

In today’s Solstice Series episode, we’re diving into Yule, one of the oldest winter traditions celebrated around the world. From Norse fire festivals to Japanese yuzu baths, we explore the global history of the winter solstice and why this season resonates so deeply with queer and chronically-ill communities.


We break down:✨ Pagan origins and ancient Yule rituals✨ Cross-cultural winter celebrations✨ Why the darkest night of the year feels so queer-coded✨ How to build micro-rituals, tiny altars, and moments of joy✨ Simple ways to reconnect with hope, rest, and community!
