Solstice
December 21

As winter begins in the North and summer in the South, we rejoice in the light: gratefully greeting the return of longer days or dancing around a bonfire to honor the longest day and shortest night.

Winter Solstice: The southern polar axis of the earth tilts towards the sun to mark the advent of winter and long starlit nights. Let us take our cue from the earth's orientation, as the world spirit prompts us to turn inwards away from extroverted activity, to search the mystical depths and find the heavenly star of Being within us.

Summer Solstice: The northern polar axis of the earth tilted most sunwards marks the advent of summer and long days of sunlight. Like the earth, may we bow before the spiritual sun, so that we are bathed always in its transformative light.
