Join Waterspirit and friends as we commemorate the deeper meaning of the winter season with reflections, contemplation, music, and movement. The winter solstice is the longest night, when we are tipped as far away from the sun as we will get this year. The official start to the cold winter season is marked by the sun seeming to stand still in the sky. We huddle up against the cold and seek the comfort of our hearth fires and heart-fires. Great Mother Earth, bless us with true understanding of the cycles of your seasons! For this event, you may wish to have a candle and matches on hand for a special candle-lighting moment. Admission is free! However, we suggest making a donation of $15 per ticket to support Waterspirit’s programs and advocacy.
