If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. ~Anne Bradstreet

We invite you to join us to celebrate Winter Solstice with us in the garden under the Bodhi Tree.

Winter Solstice occurs when the sun is at its southernmost point, thus it is the shortest day of the year. On this darkest day of the year, we gather together to celebrate the light beginning its return.

Sunrise Ceremony
with meditation, music, breathwork, and prayer

Garden Play and Seed Planting
Help prepare the garden for the coming season and plant seeds for the garden, to take home and to share with our community

Bring an instrument to share in music making

Massage/reiki/healing exchange

Sunset Ceremony with fire pit, music and releasing exercises

Join us at Sunrise or throughout the day for a time of reflection, celebration, and community.

“The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent upon it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.” ~Galileo
