Winter Solstice

Sunday ~ December 16th ~ 7:00 PM

On this longest night, come and experience the magic of this ancient ritual. Join in the celebration of the Darkness and the Light with a story, songs, drumming and dancing. The promise of the sun's return to its full power rekindles the fire in our hearts and empowers us to live our life's journey with courage, vision and hope.

Sophia's chanters and drummers, a story-teller, a shaman, the Green Man, many animal guises, and Omotayo Rite of Passage dancers will spark this inspiring ritual.
