This year marks our fifth year celebrating the Solstice! After a summer solstice that blew us
away, we’re excited to be expanding in community and experimenting in new ways to bring forth this shared community. So…this time, we’ll be combining our Solstice Gathering with a Yule Gathering that’s been happening for a number of years as well!
A few changes this year:
- Date: We’re doing it on Dec 18th, which is the first time we’ve not done it on the actual solstice.
- Place: We’re doing it at Melanie and Shawn McElroy’s (second time we’ve done it not at our place)
- Ceremony: Combining some elements from their Yule celebration with our Solstice. Notable traditions so far include candle lighting, direction calling, and burning the Yule log that was the May Pole at Beltane!
We’re excited to bring in new elements of ceremony and to join forces with new collaborators. We hope you’ll join us for a night of welcoming in the new season and celebrating in community. Please find the event details and RSVP on the Facebook event here.
