Winter Solstice Gathering
5-9pm

Dorothy Morganna

+ lots of candles
(bring your own candle & winter nature item, food, etc. to add in the center)

Join us for a beautiful community led Winter Solstice gathering at the Fremont Abbey on Saturday December 21. Winter Solstice marks the darkest night of the year and paradoxically the return of longer days. This is a moment to gather with old friends and new, to tend to the sparks that lay within, and to stay connected to following the guidance of our unique inner lights.

The gathering will feature headliner Sarah Conner with Angel Ascension, a fully improvised vocal sound journey with a musical looper. Supporting
offerings feature an Energy Dance workshop led by Erika Merz and a cacao offering and candle lighting ritual led by Dorothy Morganna.

Interested in sharing an offering or volunteering to co-create with us? Please contact the hosts to let us know - wecelium@gmail.com
