Light on the Hill Community Winter Solstice Celebration

December 16 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Winter Solstice Celebration

Saturday afternoon, December 16th, 2 – 4 pm

Inner Light Lodge

 

Please join us for a celebration of the longest night of the year. We will gather to recenter in the midst of the holiday busyness. Enjoy the warmth of community, beautiful music, and the peaceful calm of the diminished light, in the presence of spirit.

At the time of the winter solstice, we go within. We allow our energy to reflect the serene calmness of the world around us. As nature retreats, it gives us the same opportunity, to return to center and listen deeply to the yearnings of our soul. As we welcome the new emerging light, we awaken to fresh insights and creative energy.

Join us in celebrating the darkness and the light and our ability to bring light to the world, even during these difficult times.

 

All are Welcome!
