SUMMARY:Celebration of the Winter Solstice
DESCRIPTION:.Celebration of the Winter Solstice - “Fruitful Darkness”\n
 Monday evening\, Dec. 22\, 2025\n(gather at 6:45pm\, celebration from 7:00
 pm to 7:45pm)\nBeyond Words Covenant Group will be hosting a Celebration o
 f the Winter Solstice at the church on Dec. 19th.\, Monday evening from 7:
 00 to approximately 7:45\, led by Pam Spence and Laura Bergman. We take th
 e time to celebrate the shortest day of the year which also marks the begi
 nning of longer days as we circle back toward the sun\, by creating our ow
 n small circle invoking a past time when we were villagers dancing around 
 a bonfire.\n\nThe celebration is open to members of the church\, friends a
 nd community members and is entirely inclusive. No matter which earth/natu
 re - centric path you follow - whether you be Druid\, Wiccan\, neo-Pagan\,
  or simply an eco warrior and bunny hugger - you are welcome. Attire is 
 “dopamine dressing” so whatever makes you happy: sacred robes\, costum
 e\, headpieces\, comfy fleecies … entirely up to you.\n\nWhat to expect:
  This is an “embodied” celebration so you can expect simple chants and
  movement. We create an altar with items representative of the 4 directio
 ns: East/air\, South/fire\, West/water and North/earth and participants ar
 e invited to bring items for the altar.\n\nWe will celebrate as well as fo
 od and drink (feel free to bring something for the groaning board\, if you
  are inclined) before closing the circle and bidding each other adieu “m
 erry meet and merry part and merry meet again.” Contact Pam Spence at pa
 mmy.spence@gmail.com or message me at 740 816 1904 for further information
