The Wild Grace Arts Winter Solstice event is a movement ritual that blends yoga and dance. It is a process that allows for the release of unuseful patterns, an ecstatic dance to celebrate the return of the light and an opportunity to clarify your intentions for the new year.

hello dear family,

the moon's circle lines up to the day of winter solstice, december 22nd.

on the longest night of the year join us for a potluck at 7pm and a red cedar circle will follow the meal.

please feel free to bring drums, solstice teachings, songs, friends, and family. this will be an informal sharing circle and we welcome all ethnicities, traditions, ages, and backgrounds to come and share with us this evening. we are usually done by 10pm.

if the weather allows we will have a fire outside after the circle until late.

in peace and looking forward,

~michael (kate.on.sawgaa) kelly
