This week we're passing through the winter solstice; perhaps our most ancient human holiday.

What is the winter solstice? What is nature doing in the winter time? What is it asking of us? What can it tell us? What does letting go of your leaves look like?

Step into the darkest day of the year with me for a festive ramble where I ruminate on questions like these, tell stories about feral pigs and my friendship with a wood stove, explore humanity's relationship with fire, the sun, fractal cycles and the wider cosmos we're all a part of.
