Celebrating the Solstice: Resting in Darkness, Turning Toward Light
December 18, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm UTC-4
Donation-based
This beautiful, often busy time of year can evoke a mix of emotions—joy, sorrow, stress, love, loneliness, hope, nostalgia, disappointment, gratitude. All this and more! In this gathering to celebrate the winter solstice, we’ll slow down for a while and reconnect with the meaning and spirit of this time, whatever that means for you. We’ll also take some time to begin to take stock of the year and reflect on anything you want to let go of. What is ready to be released so you can start the new year lighter, with more clarity?
The class includes a short talk and reflection, a guided meditation, and time to share or journal. If you wish, bring a candle; some paper and something to write with; a piece of red jasper or howlite (or any other stone or crystal you love); an image of a spiritual figure; some cinnamon, clove or an orange; a pinecone, mistletoe or evergreen branch—anything that connects you to this season and that symbolizes light, warmth and new beginnings.
Please register if you’d like to attend. I look forward to seeing you!
