Field Notes #6: Let's practice together on the winter solstice

Rest, gratitude, and permission to slow down

I'm taking a handful of 1:1 breathwork clients for January and February. If you want space to integrate everything this year stirred up - and start 2026 more connected to your body and intuition - I'd love to work with you.

Dear friends,

The winter solstice is here and I have a Field Note to share.

I recorded this from my bed with the sun streaming through the window, five shades of green moss glowing on the granite boulders, and that particular quality of December light settling in.

Nic and I have been talking at length about family rituals this year. We’re big full moon people, big seasonal people. We love a ritual connected to the land and its cycles. And this solstice feels especially important after such an expansive, stripping-away kind of year.

So, I’m sharing a simple rest and gratitude practice with you. Something we can do together to honor the tiredness, acknowledge what our bodies have carried, and connect to what we’re grateful for, without trying to fix or change anything.

Inside we explore—

  • A grounding practice you can do anywhere (sitting, lying down, walking)

  • Permission to let the tiredness be okay

  • A simple gratitude practice that lands in the body

  • My prayer for all of us as we move into the longest night

This will be our last Field Note and my final share for 2025. I’m going to practice my own medicine and take two weeks of rest, well, as much as one can with three young kids and a band of mini horses :)

Thank you for tuning in. Thank you for being part of this community. Thank you for supporting The Deeper Call.

I am truly grateful for you.

See you in January!

With love and care,
Ashley

PS
If you are a paid member (thank you so much!) and want some somatic support this season, here is my go-to breathwork practices for easing holiday stress.

And, if you to engage with a longer end of year practice, please visit our Breathwork for Intention Setting immersion from last December. I’ll be flowing through this sequence of writing prompts to myself take inventory and sketch out what I want to call in for the New Year. x
