The final day of Vlogstice! Happy Solstice! As usual, I stayed up all night working on this, resonating with the dark and the longest nights. Today's video is about Earth, and includes some of my favorite chants and readings on that topic. I also talk about the Solstice, and do some reflecting on this experience doing Vlogstice again for the first time in years.
