WINTER SOLSTICE – The longest night!  The sun seems to stand-still for 3 days but by the third day the light returns. Each day it’s a few minutes longer. The new solar year begins slowly as darkness recedes.  The Celts called this the Festival of Alban Arthuan or the Light of Arthur.  After a year of planting, growing, harvesting and now dormancy, the time to go within and await the return of the sun’s light begins.

THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT.  Instead of a ceremony with music, song, dance, lights and drumming, the Winter Solstice will be celebrated quietly and remotely.  Covid has made all gatherings indoors too problematic.  Therefore, Winter Solstice will be a MEDITATION OF PEACE led by Donna Day of the Venice Peace Project.  In order to access the meditation, please sign up for Jo Mooy’s Newsletter which has the online info, or contact jomooy@gmail.com.  This is also a FUNDRAISER for Rising Tide.  Suggested donation is $15.  Checks should be made payable to Rising Tide and are tax deductible as it is a 501c3 organization.
