Celebration of Light (Sunday Evening)
December 15 @ 4:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Dear Friends,
Because Saturday’s Sostice event is full, we will offer a second Celebration of Light on Sunday evening.
We will gather in the meditation hall to share tea, cookies, singing and stories from all traditions (you are welcome to bring a story, song or poem!) culminating with a winter spiral walking meditation. With quiet song and reverence, the room moves from complete darkness to radiant light as, one by one, each of us (adults and children) adds our candle to the evergreen spiral in the center of the room, placing a prayer of virtue and peace.
Celebration of Light on Sunday early evening. Please arrive at 4:30, The event will end at 7pm.
- It will include a Tea Meditation with Sharing (a tea meditation in which we enjoy mindfully drinking our tea and listening to offerings from the community) The offering could be a poem, song, musical piece or short story with the theme of the season of inner light, the Winter Solstice. You can also share a meaningful or joyful personal story from the winter/holiday season, recently or reaching back into childhood memories.
- The Celebration will culminate with a Spiral Walk and Candle Lighting Ceremony. We will meditate on the Solstice, being embraced by the quiet dark and awakening our inner light of compassion. Then, with music and silent prayers, we will each walk the spiral, light our candle and place it as an offering in the spiral.
