Honoring Rest, Celebrating Healing: A Solstice Message & A Tribute to Norway House First Nations

Winter Solstice

As winter solstice invites us to rest, we celebrate the healing warriors of Norway House First Nations & offer gifts for your journey. Explore our discounted healing toolkits and envision renewal for 2025.

As the deepest dark of the year arrives with the December solstice, we are reminded of nature’s profound wisdom. Just as Mother Earth rests, lies fallow, and gathers strength beneath the snow for the return of the sun, so too do our hearts need periods of quiet, rest, and replenishment after loss.

This is a season of cycles—of life, of grief, of healing, and of renewal. At LR WELLNESS, we understand that this time of year can be especially tender. The contrast between festive lights and inner darkness can feel sharp. Many carry a silent weight, missing loved ones, navigating personal storms, or feeling the year’s accumulated fatigue.

We believe that honoring this need for gentle self-care is not just important—it’s critical for your well-being. Healing is not a distraction from the season; it is the deepest form of honoring it and yourself.

A Beacon of Healing: Celebrating Norway House First Nations

In this spirit of courageous healing, we wish to shine a light on a community that has powerfully embraced this work. We extend our deepest congratulations and respect to Norway House First Nations, one of the pioneering First Nations communities to complete the Grief Warrior and Grief-Informed Charter Training.

To every participant who stepped forward on this journey: we celebrate you. Your commitment to becoming Grief Warriors is a profound gift—not only to your own healing but to the strength and resilience of your entire community.

By earning your certificates of completion, you have:

• Become Agents of Change: You are now equipped with knowledge and tools to support others with compassion and understanding, breaking the silence around grief.

• Honored Legacy: You carry forward traditions of community care with new frameworks for healing, honoring both past and future generations.

• Built a Container for Healing: You are helping to create safer, more informed spaces where grief can be shared and processed without stigma.

• Led with Courage: You chose to face pain with the intention to heal, modeling profound strength for all.

We are truly inspired by your dedication. Congratulations to each and every one of you. Your ripples of healing will extend far and wide.

A Gift for Your Journey: Nurture Your Heart This Season

Lise here. I understand the unique pain that can surface during these dark, quiet months. The longing, the memories, the feeling of needing to “be bright” when you need to simply be.

That is why, as my gift to you during this season of reflection, I am offering special discounts on our core healing toolkits. Consider this an invitation to give yourself the resource that says, “Your healing matters.”

Envisioning Your Path: From Solstice to New Sun

As we mark the solstice and, for many, the sacred celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ—a story of hope entering the world—we also stand on the threshold of a new year.

This is a potent moment to reflect:

• Look back at 2025: Acknowledge how far you have come. What strength did you discover? What small moment of peace did you cultivate?

• Envision 2026: In this quiet, replenishing dark, what new vision do you wish to seed for yourself? Not a resolution born of pressure, but an intention born of self-care. What does your healing heart need more of in the coming turn of the sun?

Let this winter rest be your guide. Allow yourself the stillness to listen.

From my heart to yours, I wish you a peaceful solstice, a blessed Christmas for those who celebrate, and a new year where you feel supported, seen, and gently moving toward your own light.

With warmth and solidarity,

Lise Robinson

P.S. Remember, even Mother Earth needs her winter. Giving yourself the gift of rest and healing is the wisest, most natural step you can take. Our discounted toolkits are here to support that journey.
