Winter Solstice Fire

  • Reverend Sheila Black Roslin, ON, K0K 2Y0 Canada (map)

All are welcome to join us around a sacred fire to celebrate the start of winter. This is the shortest day of the day of the year and the light begins to get brighter each day.

Regardless of what the weather is doing outside your window, the solstice marks the official start of winter. Take some time out of your busy schedule at this time of year to enjoy the peace and tranquility that this day represents.

Come welcome in the sun, and spread your light with like minded around a sacred fire. Dress for the weather as this is an outdoor event. We will sing, we will meditate, we will pray and we will drum. Bring your percussion instruments and your sense of play.

Love donation and all proceeds will be donated to Tyendinaga Native Women's Association.

Please bring your own chair. I will provide hot apple cider and cookies and if you wish, bring a dish to share.

Address will be provided to all those that say YES to attending event.

Throughout history, societies across the world have held festivals and ceremonies marking winter solstice, the day of the "sun's rebirth.” Most often, winter solstice celebrations honored the symbolism of fire and light.
