  • Summary

  • In this episode of 'Sleepy Seedlings', we wander into a quiet, snow-covered European forest to meet the hopeful juniper—a tree that stands as a symbol of resilience, shelter, and life’s quiet endurance. Its evergreen needles hold their colour through the frost, and its dusky blue berries glimmer like tiny treasures against the white of winter. Steeped in ancient mythology and timeless folklore, the juniper has long been a guardian in the cold months, its branches offering protection, hope, and the promise of brighter days to come.


    As the soft sounds of a winter forest surround you, we’ll explore the juniper’s place in solstice traditions, its role as a protector of hearth and home, and its connection to the legends of Mary and Joseph’s flight into Egypt. With soothing narration, reflective poetry, and calming, snow-dusted imagery, this episode invites you to rest beneath the shelter of the juniper tree. Let its quiet strength, its deep-rooted hope, and the stillness of the forest guide you gently into sleep.
