New for 2024, BAST are delighted to now be offering crystal pyramids as an instrument option in our courses.

Today is the winter solstice – the shortest day. Roughly translated solstice means ‘sun standing still’. It is a time when the sun appears to pause before reversing the direction of its seasonal path across the sky.  The winter solstice is the perfect time for reflection, it is the darkest time before the days start to lengthen – a time to pause, go within and find stillness.
