Solstice
Dr. Rev. Solstice of the Anahata Lineage is a cosmic counselor, affirmative body care practitioner, transformation guide, top-tier freestyler, multidisciplinary artist, professor, consultant, and mystic creating in the name of Joyous Union. Solstice is currently preparing "Black Gītā's" twin, "Black Autumn," a death doula in book form. While the Black in "Black Gītā" represents all the colors in the world combined (union), the Black in "Black Autumn" represents the dark, the shadows, the winter, death and rebirth. Autumn is the season of transformation. The season that brings all seasons together in a single moment. A Blossoming and a falling. The Beauty of the Dark. A coming to life through endings. A reminder that life is a process of seasons. Gītā reminds us that life is precious and Autumn reminds us that death is a beautiful start to more life. Both commands love, neither demands anything. They stand above the pillar that states that Love is the only law. Gītā dances in the sun, Autumn sings in the dark, before dawn. They both end with union. Together they tango, merge, and transcend the duality of the other and give way to both/and-ending dichotomous/binary dead ends-together they are the middle. They are One. Together, they represent the Solstice, I am.
