Mystic Grove Annual Winter Solstice Celebration

Posted in Spirituality, tagged , , , , , , on December 15, 2009 | 1 Comment »

If you prefer going all night rather than all day, the annual Mystic Grove Winter Solstice Celebration is also in the downtown area!


Annual Winter Solstice Service and Vigil

Please join us for a well-loved tradition organized by the Mystic Grove and friends. We gather to admire the seasonal altars and bask in the glowing warmth of this lovely candle-lit holiday service. This year we welcome back the beautiful sounds of the Harmony Sisters and other performers, listen to the Story of the Celts, and dance the spiral dance around the Yule log.

After the service, watch the Yule Log be lit, tell each other your holiday stories, and stay a while to enjoy the warmth of community! Those who wish to stand guard by the fire until dawn are invited to bring comfy chairs, blankets, and whatever else you may enjoy as we “camp out” and ensure the Sun will rise again!

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

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
