Come and Celebrate our 15th annual Winter Solstice 2009
Sunday, December 20th
The Solar Living Center, Hopland, California
5:00-6:00pm Solstice Ceremony by Jini Reynolds
Drumming Circle, bring your drum
As the sun drops behind the shoulder of Duncan Peak, drumming, dancing and celebrating begin as we mark each passing Solstice -- the longest & shortest Solar Day of the Year. Each December, we acknowledge the sun and celebrate the season of light and the return of longer days. Our giant solar calendar at the Solar Living Center is the perfect place for solstice celebrations with its bronze staffs marking sunrise and sunset for each week of the year. Beyond the calendar in the central oasis, upright stone markers, Stonehenge-like, mark the locations of sunrise and sunset for both the winter and summer solstices as well as for the equinoxes. On June 21, we celebrate the summer solstice when the sun is "highest" in the sky and we enjoy the longest solar day of the year. It's a time to celebrate abundant solar energy. Our hope is that more people will begin utilizing the clean and constant energy from the sun. Everyone is invited to partake in the Solar Living Center solstice celebrations. Each celebration is free-form and unique but most involve drumming, singing, dancing and making positive affirmations for the coming season. Everyone is free to relate to the occasion spiritually and philosophically in a manner of their own choosing. Come and help us celebrate!
