The Winter Solstice is a sacred pause, the longest night of the year that invites us to turn inward, rest, and reconnect with our inner light. As we honor the transition from darkness to the returning light, this moment becomes a powerful opportunity to reflect, release, and set intentions for the year ahead.

At Seagrape Apothecary, we believe that self-care is a ritual of love and transformation. This Solstice we invite you to embrace this magic with practices that nourish your body, mind, and spirit. Whether it’s lighting a candle to honor the returning sun, journaling your dreams for the new year, or indulging in a luxurious bath to soothe and reset, let this season be one of deep self-connection and care.

As we prepare to step into 2026, where our guide is the Wheel of Fortune, we encourage you to embrace the lessons of this archetype: mutability, wisdom, and conscious awareness of the cyclicality of life. Let the Solstice be your gateway to this intentional and powerful energy.

Join us at the shop this weekend for our annual Winter Solstice Pleasure Party and weave some powerful community magic with us. 

Your body is an altar, and we're here to remind you of that as often as we can. How are you tending to your altar this holiday season? 

If you're Portland local, join us at the shop! We're here to answer whatever questions you have about connecting back your body. Or, if your mind is more gift focused, we can help you pick out treasures for your loved ones. We'll be open from 11am-6pm Friday- Saturday, and 11-5 on Sunday! (Open 11-5 wed and thurs as usual).
