“Winter Solstice Celebration with Drum Circle”
Rev. Sue Greer, UUSD Friend and Ordained Spiritual Life Minister, with Tony Codella and Monthly Drummers
Come! Call back the light! Winter Solstice is the marking of the earth’s pause before turning once again from darkness towards the light. On this, the longest night of the year, we will invite new beginnings into our lives and pause to listen to the renewal of our life’s direction. In our celebration we will drum, so bring a drum if you have one or share the drums we have to offer. In the ceremony we will join our light together by lighting a circle of candles, growing our light as one. Weather permitting, we will have a fire outside. (Check for an announcement closer to the date.) Finally, we will walk or dance the circle of the year in a sun dance. Bring a candle, drum, or rattle if you have one, warm clothes, and a chair to take outside. Join us to celebrate your dreams and wishes for the cycle of renewal.
