In this program, Frieda Werden asks questions of two experienced practitioners of an earth-based, women-centred religion about what they do&nbsp;around solstice,&nbsp;and how they came to their vocations. They also make suggestions for privately engaging with the darkest night.&nbsp;Lovely music is included. [Note: in the Southern hemisphere, you&#8217;ll be celebrating the summer solstice at the same time.&nbsp; The astronomy is explained in the program.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Credits:&nbsp;Produced by Frieda Werden.
