Bigfoot Pack Surrounds MarinesIn 1974, on a Marine Corps base in North Carolina, five combat-hardened Marines, including a sniper with Vietnam experience, encountered four Sasquatches while fishing near a river. Initially enjoying a peaceful day by a bridge and small island, their outing turned terrifying when they heard massive, bipedal creatures crashing through dense, snake-infested brush, hurling branches, and emitting bone-rattling screams. The creatures, one of which was glimpsed as an eight-foot-tall, rust-haired figure with broad shoulders, executed a series of bluff charges toward the group, alternating from both sides of the river in a seemingly coordinated effort. Retreating to the island for safety, the Marines endured fifteen minutes of this ordeal before the Sasquatches, possibly working as a group to herd them, fled downstream and upriver, leaving the men shaken and determined to keep the incident secret to protect their careers, forever altering their perception of the wilderness.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

Three researchers with personal experience of anxiety and depression triggered by studying the environmental destruction caused by a changing climate describe the steps they take to protect their mental health.Ruth Cerezo-Mota, a climate scientist based at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City, found herself grieving for the state of the planet through her work for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.Experiencing a panic attack at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by a fear of checking emails and a sense of disengagement from work, led to her seeking professional help. “I was in a really dark place,” she tells Adam Levy. Retreating to a “happy place” that combines home, books, yoga, running, cats and wine is a key copying strategy when things get tough, she says.Similar experiences are recounted by Dave Reay, a climate scientist at the University of Edinburgh UK, and Daniel Gilford, a meteorologist who works at Climate Central, a science-led non-profit based in Princeton, New Jersey, that researches and reports the facts about climate change and its effects on peoples lives.Talking to other climate researchers and focusing on positive developments around climate change also helps, says Reay. Gilford, who is based in Orlando, Florida, likens climate change to being in the path of an approaching train: “I can see it coming with all of its weight and heaviness, and I'm screaming ‘Stop. Stop the train. Stop the train.'“By screaming, by saying what is happening, by naming the problem and telling people about it, I think that that can become a solution as well,” he says.

Retreating and binge-writing may seem similar at first glance, but one supports your creative flow, while the other can derail it. So, what's the real difference between these two approaches, and why is one a tool while the other is a crutch? In this episode, I break down the key distinctions between binge-writing and writing retreats. I'll explore the deeper implications of each, explaining why binge-writing often leads to burnout while retreats provide the spaciousness and support needed for sustainable progress. Whether you're struggling with the binge-and-bust cycle or just looking to create more balance in your writing practice, this episode offers valuable insights into why retreating might be the solution.

NEHEMIAH 4; REVELATION 21 OLIVIA MUNN-SHIRSATH WELLSPRING CHURCH NYC 02.02.2025  

Send us your thoughts! Swedish jazz virtuoso Ebba Åsman has announced the forthcoming release of her third full-length record When You Know. The new album arrives March 21st, 2025 via Dorado Records.Coinciding with the announcement of ‘When You Know' of the upcoming album are the joint first singles - the title track ‘When You Know' and ‘No Answer'. The pair of songs channel the feelings that came into clarity for Åsman during her time in the woods: the stresses of not knowing where you're headed, sensing that you're losing grip of the life you've built, drowning in the infinite questions that swirl around in your head – and ultimately, accepting the uncertainty of it all. The latter track has been described as the turning point of the album, where acceptance of the circumstances begin to prevail.Coming off of a Swedish Grammy (GRAMMIS) nomination for her 2023 sophomore album ‘Be Free', live showings at North Sea Jazz Festival and London's Ronnie Scott's and an appointment as one of Yamaha's brand ambassadors, the trombonist, songwriter and producer sought to quiet the noise around her and challenge the jazz genre's rigid rules for her next project. The end result is ‘When You Know'; a smoky and melancholic 10-track cocktail of jazz, alternative R&B, indie, Hip-Hop and ambient sonics that experiments at every turn. On hand to co-produce the record and provide the electronic elements that move ‘When You Know' away from the jazz world and into more avant-garde territory, Ebba collaborated with Berlin-based producer Lucy Liebe. Packing a potent emotional punch into a running time of just 31 minutes, the 10 tracks are a reflection of Ebba herself: direct, driven, precise. Retreating to a cabin outside of her small hometown of Hammarö, 200 miles west of Stockholm, she recorded the album in the dead of winter. With the temperatures outside nearing minus-thirty degrees, Åsman logged off for a month – disconnecting from TV, social media and emails. Embracing with vigour both the deep sense of calm and the challenges that come with the cold but also the stillness and solitude that is yielded being in the wilderness.Though this is Åsman's third studio album, it will be the first time she's singing on record. An important statement and moment of transition for Ebba. Elaborating on this further she said: “If you're singing, you are the closest you can be to your own expression but I wanted to first be respected as an instrumentalist. If you're a woman and you tell people you're a musician, everyone assumes and says “Oh – so you're a singer?”. ‘When You Know' will mark the moment on which Ebba Åsman's exceptional gifts are finally crystallised. At age 7, she began learning trombone and by 15, she won a place to study the instrument at the Södra Latin School in Stockholm. The renowned hot-house for Swedish talent whose alumni include Lykke Li, Yung Lean and the prolific hit songwriter Max Martin. But when she moved to the Netherlands to study at the Rotterdam Conservatory of Music, she began to push against the constraints of formal learning.  Self-identifying as a “jazz rebel”, rather than being preoccupied with the theoretical and mechanical aspects of jazz, Ebba operates from a mode of pure intuition and feeling. At just 26, ‘When You Know' finds Åsman continuing to push the boundaries of jazz through the two distinct sides of her musical self: the notes she conjures from the trombone and now, her voice.Support the show

PREVIEW: OHIO RIVER VALLEY: Professor Robert G. Parkinson, author "American Heart of Darkness," remarks on the extreme violence of early America in contest with the retreating indigenous peoples, chiefly fighting over land-grabbing by the colonials.. More tonight.  1753 Ohio River Valley

In this episode I reflect on our recent Reset Retreat to Cambodia, and our work with the charity Heartprint. Despite Cambodia's history of violence and poverty, I'm exceptionally impressed by the warmth and resilience of the people. We took along an amazing group of women, and together we visited significant historical sites like Angkor Wat and the killing fields, and learned about the country's tumultuous past. The trip also included a visit to a lotus farm and an elephant sanctuary, among many other wonderful adventures. In closing, I can't emphasise enough the importance of privilege, kindness, and community connection, and urge listeners to be mindful and generous during the holiday season.

Global uncertainty and a relentless news cycle are leading some people to embrace “cosy tech,” — a world of low-stakes, colourful video games to friendly AI companions. But while the trend may seem benign, writer Kyle Chayka says digital cocooning has its downsides.

After the death of Jesus, Peter said, 'I go a fishing,' returning to what was familiar during a time of uncertainty. This lesson explores the human tendency to retreat to comfort and the difference between grounding ourselves in Christ versus falling back into worldly habits. Returning to Christ in hardship is godly and strengthening, but reverting to the world is spiritually harmful.

Welcome to the DMF. Where I try to find out what motivates people behind the scenes in the world of acting and entertainment. Today on the podcast I am talking to Paul Todisco. He is a director and we are talking meditation and Inside The Actor's Studio questions. As always you can reach me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook with my name Justin Younts. Thank you for listening and sit back and enjoy. I discovered the secret to my morning routine that has transformed my life. Every day, I start with a little cleaning and my morning ablutions, but the real game-changer is my meditation practice. Just 15 minutes of meditation can change the course of my day for the better. It's not just a routine; it's a vital tool that has helped me complete my latest script. I believe that meditation is essential for anyone, especially writers and students, as it fosters creativity and helps manage stress. In a world where external distractions are rampant, we often seek happiness in temporary fixes—food, music, shopping—but true happiness lies within. I encourage everyone to explore their inner selves and find that source of joy. It's about aligning with your true self and understanding your mission in life. When you're in tune with yourself, life becomes magical. I also believe that meditation can trigger critical thinking. When you go inward, revelations about reality become clear, and you start to question the status quo. It's not about blindly following teachings; it's about finding what resonates with you. Everyone has the answers inside them, and it's crucial to tap into that wisdom. As for my nighttime routine, it varies depending on my life phase. Sometimes I'm deep into writing, while other times I'm just enjoying films or reading. I've found that reading great literature can also enhance critical thinking and self-awareness. I encourage everyone to read profound works that inspire thought and reflection. Ultimately, I advocate for shutting off external media and distractions to focus on what truly matters. Retreating into nature or practicing silence can help you reconnect with yourself. It's a lifelong journey of self-discovery, and I believe everyone can benefit from it. So, take the time to explore your inner universe and unlock your true potential. 00:00:04 - Introduction 00:00:12 - Morning Routine and Meditation 00:00:50 - The Power of Meditation and Self-Discovery 00:03:39 - Nighttime Routine 00:04:41 - Meditation Practice 00:07:04 - Reading Habits 00:09:59 - Importance of Solitude and Disconnecting

FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real When I first saw this acronym, a BIG light bulb went off. For the first time, I realized that there's absolutely ZERO truth behind the door of our fear. Although WHAT we fear isn't real, the WHY behind our fear is. …and a lot of it has to do with the lies we believe or the lie-based stories we tell ourselves. So, what do you do when you feel trapped by your fear?   Today's Guest answers this question and then some. This week, I sit down with 22-year U.S. Navy Veteran, Executive Director of Warfighter Advance, and Internationally Recognized Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Mary Vieten. For decades, this woman has helped American war heroes overcome their fears and severe levels of trauma. She's going to break down how we can master ours. Dr. Mary draws from personal stories and real-life experiences while she unpacks a range of topics from hilarious military moments to serious mental health concerns. Join us as we reflect on the strength of overcoming fear and trauma, as well as the significance of showing up for those who come to us in times of need.  If you want to overcome your fears more confidently and consistently, then don't miss today's episode. In this episode, you'll hear: What to do when you feel like you're trapped by your fear. Signs that you're dealing with unresolved trauma. How you could be a better citizen, friend, and family member in today's crazy world. Importance of faith, forgiveness, empathy, genuine relationships, and unconditional positive regard in the healing process. The unfortunate case of a military man's struggle with the mental health system's over-reliance on medication. The power of overcoming fear and trauma and how societal conditioning often instills fear of our own feelings. Dr. Mary's plea to shift from living as human doings to thriving as human beings. Key Quotes When someone is sharing their struggle with you, your first response shouldn't be, ‘You should talk to someone.' It should be to tell yourself to ‘shut up and listen.' - Dr. Mary Vieten Instead of retreating from your fear, look at it. - Dr. Mary Vieten The answers to our challenges are already built into our body and brain - we just don't take the time to access them. - Dr. Mary Vieten We need to be more focused on being human BEings, not human DOings and TALKings. - Dr. Mary Vieten Connect with Dr. Mary Website: www.warfighteradvance.org  Medicating Normal Movie: www.medicatingnormal.com Facebook: @warfighteradvancereintegration | https://www.facebook.com/warfighteradvancereintegration Instagram: @warfighter_advance | https://www.instagram.com/warfighter_advance/ LinkedIn: @warfighter-advance | https://www.linkedin.com/company/warfighter-advance%E2%84%A2/  Connect with J.R.  Facebook: @jamesJRreid Instagram: @jamesjrreid LinkedIn: in/jamesjrreid/ Twitter: @jamesJRreid Website: jamesreid.com Check out The Clutch Club™️: jamesreid.com/club (For Men Only) Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

David is also the author of two best-selling books on business leadership, including the latest one, Executive Retreats for Busy Business Leaders. David, welcome to the show. Thank you, Steve. I'm so excited to be here. I love the energy you're bringing. I'll try to keep up with you. So let's start with your personal “Why,” because you have a very powerful one. What is it and how do you manifest in your business? What's your journey that lead to your point of manifesting right in your business? Yeah, my message, Steve, is that you multiply who you are. So pay attention to that. Do you even know who you are? Typically when we meet people, we ask questions like, what's your name? What do you do? That kind of thing. But I promise you, if you really want to stump people, ask them a question like, who are you? And see what they say. And so I break that one out at parties every so often and about 60 to 70 percent of time people can't answer it So my message is know who you are. You're gonna multiply the best and the worst of who you are and so that's what my latest project is about but my journey toward the work I do today as a coach and as a consultant, as an author and a speaker is I am the classic overachieving, high-energy, workaholic, can't-turn-off-my-mind type of person. It was probably seven or eight years ago now when I was working in a worldwide semiconductor company in California, amongst some other companies. And what happened was that my mother, who had cancer, had come back and there's nobody to take care of her. So I had a client out in North Carolina. I thought I would go check on my mom on the way to the client. And so instead of flying like normally what I brought my family, I said, hey, let's do a road trip. And what happened was we just found that she was in much worse condition than we thought. And what I thought would be a two-week visit turned into six months. And it was in that six-month process of isolation, time away from my family, trying to manage a business and still work with clients for a while, I couldn't keep it up, that I really had to come to grips with the fact that I had a mind problem, I had a me problem, and that I couldn't turn off constantly thinking myself into the future and implications of what might happen if I failed or something went wrong. And so by the time my mother passed away, I went back to California thinking my mind and my work and my life would just snap back into normal and I would keep on going like I had before. But instead I started getting lost, walking down the street, driving down the highway, forgetting things. I couldn't find the dishes in my own cabinets. And this type of thing happened to me off and on for about six months. And as I got into some help and started digging into my own personal story, I realized that I had a really big issue and it was that I was overly responsible. So I took on too much all the time for everyone. And my work only intensified my natural propensity to want to fix problems...

#Ukraine: Retreating.  Colonel Jeff McCausland , USA (retired) @mccauslj @CBSNews @dickinsoncol 1883

Let me ask you something—when was the last time you truly paused? Not just took a day off, but really stepped away from the noise, disconnected, and gave yourself the space to breathe and reset? If you're like most people, the answer is probably ‘I can't remember.' Well, today, we're talking about the ultimate power move in a world obsessed with hustle—retreating. And no, it's not running away. It's about finding the clarity and strength you need to come back even stronger. Retreating is not a luxury, it's a necessity. In a world of constant hustle, hitting pause is the ultimate power move. It doesn't mean you've got to take a month off, it could mean taking an afternoon for yourself outside, in your favorite chair with a cup of coffee, using your favorite patriotic mug. In today's episode, we're diving into the six powerful reasons why taking a retreat is essential for your health, well-being, and personal growth. We'll explore how stepping away from the grind can help you reset mentally, physically, and emotionally—so you can come back stronger, more focused, and ready to take on whatever life throws your way. -- SHOW NOTES/LINKS: Join The Forge!

When you are being pursued, do you watch your defense? Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. This week, we are in 1 Samuel 19. I've titled this chapter "When Enemies Pursue God Will Protect." In this chapter, we have learned that two of King Saul's children, his son (Jonathan) and his daughter (Michal), advocate for David. Let's read what happens next in 1 Samuel 19:18-24. Now David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived at Naioth. And it was told Saul, "Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah." Then Saul sent messengers to take David, and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied. Then he himself went to Ramah and came to the great well that is in Secu. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah." And he went there to Naioth in Ramah. And the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah. And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" — 1 Samuel 19:18-24 So, a little heads up about this moment: David leaves Saul's house and never returns. David will never see Jonathan again because he dies in battle. He will also not see Michal until Saul and Jonathan's death (2 Samuel 3:13-16). During this time, David and Michal remarry other spouses, and once they are reunited, their marriage appears strained (2 Samuel 6:16). Here, we notice that David retreats to Samuel's village (about 3 miles away), but when Saul's assassins arrive, they are met by the overwhelming power of the Spirit of God. Remember, we must see this moment as the third of three defensives. First, he is defended by a friend who advocates for him. Next, he is defended by his wife, who conceals his escape. Last, he is defended by the Spirit of God, and nothing will protect him better than the Spirit of God. As a note: this is not a case of believers being "slain in the Spirit." These men have not come to Samuel and David with any type of spiritual intrigue. They are arresting agents who want to assassinate David. They come in three waves yet are so engrossed by the Spirit that they cannot continue their mission. They now work for the King of Glory instead of King Saul. If you are counting, over the last two chapters, there have been seven attempted assassinations on the life of David by Saul (three spears are thrown, three expeditions sent, and one additional attempt by Saul himself). But when Saul arrives at Naioth, something interesting happens. He uncontrollably casts off his royal attire, which is undoubtedly a divine stripping of his royal identity before the Spirit and will of God. In this symbolic moment, Saul is stripped, overpowered, and arrested by God. The man who has come to arrest and assassinate David has now been arrested and apprehended by God. Retreating is necessary and justified at times. David had attempted everything possible to keep peace with Saul in this situation. His only choice was to run, and he had no idea how things would pan out in Naioth or that this would carry on for 12 long years. However, he knew one thing—there was a man of God there who was on God's side. David exemplifies fighting with integrity and understanding when the fight will result in losses for everyone. Running from the problem was the only option, and during the retreat, the Spirit of God did all the fighting for him. Sometimes, David fought with the Spirit, and other times, the Spirit fought for him. In any case, we should do the same. Either fight with the Spirit or let him fight for you, but never ever fight with the Spirit of God. It will strip you bare and might leave you feeling a little naked before your perceived enemies. #DivineProtection, #GodsIntervention, #SpiritualDefense Ask This: How have you experienced God's protection when you felt pursued or threatened, and how can these experiences strengthen your faith in His ability to shield you today? In what areas of your life are you currently struggling to rely on the Spirit for protection or guidance, and what steps can you take to invite His intervention into those situations? Do This: Let the Spirit fight for you or with you. Pray This: Lord, thank You for Your unwavering protection and the power of Your Spirit that guards me in times of trouble.

Coming to the door, the Archbishop forbade the Emperor, as a pagan and a shedder of innocent blood, to enter the house where the True God was worshipped. Retreating in humiliation, the Emperor determined to take his revenge. Shortly after he had Babylas imprisoned along with several Christian children. Babylas was made to watch the beheading of each of the children. Having given them encouragement he submitted himself to beheading. At his own request he was buried in the chains with which he had been bound.   After the establishment of Christianity in the Roman Empire, the Emperor Gallus had a church built in honor of Babylas near the site of a temple to Apollos at Daphne, outside Antioch. (This was where, according to pagan legend, the maiden Daphne had been turned into a tree to escape the lust of Apollos). When Julian the Apostate came to Antioch in 362 to consult a famous oracle there, he found that the oracle had been deprived of its power by the presence of a Christian church nearby. He ordered the relics of St Babylas to be dug up and removed from the Church. As soon as this had been done a thunderbolt destroyed the shrine of Apollo, which Julian did not dare to rebuild. Saint John Chrysostom, then Archbishop of Antioch, preached a sermon on these events within a generation after their occurrence.

Gently close your eyes and allow your body to sink deeper into the plush embrace of your pillow. PAUSE… Breathe in slowly... And breathe out, releasing all the tensions of the day. PAUSE… As you inhale, imagine the air is a gentle breeze, cooling and calming. As you exhale, let go of any lingering thoughts or distractions. PAUSE… Feel the weight of your head cradled by your soft pillow, The curves of your neck supported, your mind easing into tranquility. PAUSE… With each breath, feel your body becoming lighter, As if each exhale is a whisper, floating you further into relaxation. PAUSE… Now, bring your attention to the soothing darkness behind your closed eyes. See it as a velvety blackness, comforting and deep. PAUSE… With each breath, this comforting darkness wraps around you like a cocoon, Safe, secure, serene. PAUSE… Allow your ears to tune into the quiet of the room, The distant, soft sounds that nighttime brings, The gentle hum of the world outside, lulling you closer to sleep. PAUSE… Breathe in peace... Breathe out tension… LONG PAUSE.. Let your body relax further, feeling every muscle soften, From the top of your head, Down your shoulders, Through your arms, All the way to your fingertips. PAUSE… Feel the relaxation spread from your chest, Down through your core, Into your hips, And flowing down to your toes.

PAUSE… Allow yourself to be here, fully, in this moment, Embraced by the softness of your pillow, Surrounded by the gentle night.

LONG PAUSE… With every wave, feel yourself drifting further, Into deeper peace, Into restful sleep. LONG PAUSE… You are safe, You are calm, You are relaxed. Continue to breathe gently, Letting your body sink deeper into sleep, Deeper into dreams. PAUSE… Rest well, knowing you are held, Cradled by the softness of your pillow, Wrapped in the quiet of the night. LONG PAUSE… Sweet dreams, beautiful.

Historian and scholar Connor Williams joins Carl for this look at the Gilded Age retreat of the Adirondacks.  A number of Gilded Age families came to this leafy paradise despite the dusty two day journey in an attempt to escape the city and recharge in nature.  The Gilded Age saw the rise of the "great camps" -- extensive properties owned by families such as the Vanderbilts and the Morgans. While certainly not as lavish as their Newport cottages, these escapes still had elegant meals, fully stocked bars and dozens of domestic help to keep it all running.  Great Camp Sagamore, once a Vanderbilt property, still welcomes visitors today on the shores of Raquette lake as it has for over 125 years. Visit the Gilded Gentleman website for a full list of episodes

Strong is the new beautiful, but how can women truly embrace their power? Today, I welcome Louise Hazel, a heptathlete and fitness professional. She gained recognition for her athletic achievements, including competing in the heptathlon, which consists of seven track and field events.  In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Lou and I cover many topics, from why lifting weights is way more than just a workout to busting myths about strength training. But that's not all! We also talked about how our bodies have their own seasons, and why it's a good thing to really listen to them.  Ever wondered what to eat before and after hitting the gym? We talked about that too! We also shared our experience of surrounding ourselves with a supportive community for growth.  Lastly, we shared a candid conversation about dealing with tough times and finding strength in letting go. So, grab a cozy spot, maybe a cup of tea, and join me and Louise for a chat that's as heartwarming as a good friend's hug.

FX is debuting a new series created by Ryan Murphy — called Feud: Capote and the Swans -- regarding writer Truman Capote's relationship with several famed New York society women. And it's such a New York story that listeners have asked if we're going to record a tie-in show to that series. Well, here it is! Capote -- who was born 100 years ago this year -- and the "swans" are part of the pivotal cast of this podcast, the story of one of the most exclusive parties ever held in New York. Tom and Greg recorded this show back in November of 2016 but, likely, most of you haven't heard this one.Truman was a true New York character, a Southern boy who wielded his immense writing talents to secure a place within Manhattan high society. Elegant, witty, compact, gay — Capote was a fixture of swanky nightclubs and arm candy to wealthy, well-connected women.One project would entirely change his life — the completion of the classic In Cold Blood, a ‘non-fiction novel' about a horrible murder in Kansas. Retreating from his many years of research, Truman decided to throw a party.But this wasn't ANY party. This soiree — a masquerade ball at the Plaza Hotel — would have the greatest assemblage of famous folks ever gathered for something so entirely frivolous. An invite to the ball was the true golden ticket, coveted by every celebrity and social climber in America.FEATURING: Harper Lee, Lauren Bacall, Leonard Bernstein, Frank Sinatra, Robert Frost, Lillian Hellman, Halston, Katherine Graham and a cast of thousands (well, or just 540)Visit our website for fabulous pictures of this star-studded affairOTHER RECOMMENDED LISTENING:The History of the Plaza HotelThe Beatles Invade New YorkLeonard Bernstein's New York, New YorkAt Home With Lauren Bacall

Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, calls us to brood and turn within. Retreating to the unconscious is a psychic wintering, calling our life force down into our archaic patterns. It can trigger a sorrowing that helps us adjust to inevitable losses, just like the forest that silently drops its foliage without lament. At the nadir of darkness, light is reborn, and each successive day grows longer. Ancient and modern rituals celebrate the light's triumph over darkness. No matter our background, attunement to light is woven into our bodies, for we are all part of the cosmic progression. Prepare to discover who interacts with the winter solstice, from ancient to modern cultures, how solstice triggers introspection and transformative mourning, what cultural and psychological themes it embodies, whether solstice is a profound inner experience or merely an astronomical event, which aspects of culture and psychology are connected to the solstice, why winter solstice has such historical reverence, and so much more… Find the Dream We Analyze Here: https://thisjungianlife.com/solstice/ Try new stuff: Learn to interpret dreams: https://thisjungianlife.com/join-dream-school/   Support us on Patreon (keep us free of corporate influence): https://www.patreon.com/ThisJungianLife Share your dream with us: https://thisjungianlife.com/share-your-dream/ Suggest a podcast topic: https://thisjungianlife.com/podcast-form-topics/   Get some TJL merch: https://www.zazzle.com/store/thisjungianlife/products Talk to Us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q8IG87DsnQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisjungianlifepodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThisJungianLife Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThisJungianLife/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thisjungianlife/
