We'll be appreciating this moment in time together. The winter holidays are over, and we're beginning a new year. What is our relationship with this moment in time, this winter season, the year 2025, this period of our lives, this day, this moment?

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.

Abby will lead us in exploring liminal space: being in the in-between and unknown. We are facing so many transitions and so much unknown. We will share what supports us in times of being in between and in the unknown. What are things we take with us, and what do we hope to find? What is it like to hold uncertainty?

Join us on Hallowtide to observe one of the great rituals of our piece of the planet: the return of salmon to their birth streams to spawn the next generation as their lives come to an end.

Let’s gather to celebrate the end of the harvest season.

We'll explore ourselves and the people in our lives as heroes. We'll name archetypes and mythology in the journeys we see around us. And we'll do it all through a lens of queerness, in a space that welcomes those who are queer, those who are not, and those who are still figuring it out. Writers of all levels welcome.
