The solstice marks a turning point—either the longest night or the longest day—and invites us to pause. In this episode recorded on the solstice, Glenn and the Columbus sangha reflect on what it means to stand at a threshold in our own lives. What are we carrying forward? What are we ready to release? Drawing from Buddhist practice, this talk explores the solstice not as superstition or ritual obligation, but as a moment of awareness: a reminder that change is constant, that darkness and light coexist, and that each turning holds possibility. Whether you observe the solstice formally or not, this episode offers space for reflection and renewal.
