Holiday Traditions │ Soulful Rituals

Cate Season 5 Episode 115

The holiday season is officially in full swing! This is the time of year when traditions really take center stage. But before embarking on the usual holidays customs, consider if these rituals still align with who you are today. Do holiday traditions bring you comfort and joy? Or are there traditions that feel restrictive and oppressive? What are you eager to carry forward and what would you rather leave in the past? This season, embrace the traditions that feed your holiday spirit, and give yourself permission to set down the traditions that have become too heavy. As we take in the cold night air, envision the magic you’ll create when you combine tradition with intention.
