Winter Solstice Celebration
Friday, December 20, 7:00–9:00 pm or a little later (doors open at 6:30)
Upstairs at the Meeting House, 4312 SE Stark, Portland
All are welcome! Suggested donation: $25.
Register early by donation to ensure space, at a level that’s right for you. Note “Solstice” when you donate. Donate by cash or check at the door, if space allows.
Proceeds benefit our Water & Warmth for Warm Springs program.
Come celebrate our planet’s endless celestial dance!
Family, friends, artists, activists, workers, wanderers, doers and dreamers—all are welcome to this winter’s eve gathering. We’ll bow to the past and light up our hearts as we turn toward the winter ahead.
We’re SO happy that Benjy & Heather Wertheimer of Shantala will be with us, joined by Kavita MacMillan. Through the evening we’ll reflect on the seasons gone by and turn toward the winter with a community candlelighting to warm the darkness. Chanting, stories, and a simple circle dance will fill out the evening.
Early registration is encouraged. Donate here at whatever level feels right to you. (Donations are tax-deductible per IRS rules.) We’ll also have a basket at the Meeting House to accept new and like-new warm clothing for Warm Springs. New socks, scarves, sweaters, shirts, hats, and gloves in all sizes—infants to elders—are welcome.
