Exploring the Land-Based Origins of Christmas and Midwinter Traditions

Rachel and Francesca hear from ceremonialist and writer, Angharad Wynne, and farmer and founder of Glasbren, Abel Pearson about the ways they bring ceremony, ritual and vigil into their work and daily lives. Together they explore how we can celebrate this time of the year and welcome the darker, winter months as an opportunity for rest, renewal and creativity.
