Winter Solstice Celebration (in person and online)

Let’s welcome the season of darkness and share light around a beach bonfire (or online). We’ll celebrate the Winter Solstice with community and connection to nature. We’ll watch the sun set on the longest night of the year and reflect on the earth’s position and the cycles of our natural world. We’ll be led in simple solstice songs (singing or listening are equal choices) and gentle contemplative practice and share reflection.
