Winter Solstice Gathering

  • Brentwood Farms Community Garden Portland, ME, 04103 United States (map)

Share the longest night of the year and welcome the return of light. All Welcome! For young and old alike!

Details:

4 - 6pm: Walk the Solstice Spiral. (Meditative walk, guides available, takes ~5 - 10 minutes)

5pm: Casual gathering around the fire

Come for one or come for all.

SPECIAL NOTE

🧊IT IS GOING TO BE COLD; there will be minimal warmth from the fire.  Please dress to stay warm from your clothing alone.

🌀QUIET & CALM: Our Solstice event begins quietly to honor the season of darkness. The walking of the Solstice Spiral is a silent, meditative wandering. It is for everyone! No experience is necessary other than living on earth. Please enjoy stepping into the peace of the darkness with us. (Kids are very, very welcome and good at this).

🔥LOUD & WIGGLY: The Bonfire is not silent and balances out the quiet, introspective experience of the Spiral. We will come together to celebrate community with voices in song, poetry and a whoop or two. (Kids are very, very welcome and also good at this).

💙PLEASE BRING:  Your open heartedness, VERY WARM MULTILAYERED OUTDOOR WEAR, your heaviness and worries, your (metaphorical) light and your joys.    

PLEASE DO NOT BRING:  Artificial light, dogs into the Spiral.
