SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Yule Ritual and Celebration (Registration Full)
DESCRIPTION:Wintering: A mini retreat for the winter solstice\n\nThe Vancouver Unitarian Earth Spirituality group invites you to spend some time with other creative souls on the longest night of the year.\n\nWinter is a time to focus on our inner life\, and yet the world sometimes pulls us out and about\, spinning us around.\n\nWe’ll gather in Hewett Hall\, cast a circle of sanctuary to protect us from the busy world outside. We’ll ritually bid farewell to whatever we are eager to leave behind from the past year.\n\nThen people will choose one of three workshops and spend 2 hours together\, whether circle dancing\, crafting garlands or reading and writing.\n\nThe workshops will be a way to connect with others and possibly make new friends.\n\nCome and experience the power of rest and retreat and enjoy a time of quiet joy in community with other creative souls.\n\nAt 4:30\, we gather in the hall together in a circle for a winter solstice ritual and to release directions and open the circle\, followed by a giveaway of pre-loved goods.\n\nAt 5:00\, go if you must\, stay if you will.  (Help with cleanup appreciated.)\nEarly registration is open now. \nTo make this a comfortable and cozy space\, we have a maximum enrollment.
