13 - Guest Episode - The shortest day of the year, with Treasa Ní Mhurchú

Regina and Abby are joined by Treasa Ní Mhurchú, a tour guide and archaeologist who works on the Sacred Sites of Ireland. We they chat about ways to celebrate the Solstice (the shortest day of the year) whether you can get out to a sacred site, or are locked down at home during the pandemic. This year the Solstice falls on December 21st, so we wanted to share this episode in good time to give you some ideas if you felt like celebrating it too.  We also talk about what life may have been like in neolithic times, attitudes towards the cycles and the seasons, and how technology has disconnected us from the natural flow of the world.
