Winter Solstice Bonfire Celebration

?✨ Step into the Longest Night, Celebrate the Return of the Sun! ✨?

Join us on the sacred Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, to honour the earth's cycle, connect with the community, and spark our inner light. This ancient tradition marks the turning point, where the days gradually lengthen and bring renewed warmth and hope. It’s a powerful time to gather in celebration, reflection, and gratitude.

? People who have vehicles, please park at Camden Street. Thank you!

The Winter Solstice has been celebrated for thousands of years by cultures worldwide as a time of rebirth, transformation, and introspection. From ancient stone circles in England to Indigenous bonfires in the Americas, it is a time to let go of the past and welcome new intentions for the year ahead.

• Community & Connection ?: Gather with like-minded souls in a peaceful, festive environment.
• Traditional Bonfire ?: Release old energies into the fire as we welcome the returning light.
• Sharing Food & Flowers ??: Bring a dish to share or a flower offering to honor the earth's beauty.
• Reflection & Renewal ?: Take a moment to pause, reflect, and set intentions for 2024.

• Firewood ?: Contribute to our fire; each log symbolizes our collective light and warmth.
• Food to Share ???: Celebrate abundance with a potluck-style gathering. Bring a dish that resonates with your heritage or seasonal flavors.
• Flower Offerings ?: Flowers will symbolize our gratitude to the Earth and our connection to nature.
• Warm Clothing ??: It may be chilly, so bundle up for a cozy outdoor experience.

For many, the Winter Solstice is not just a moment in the calendar but a powerful, spiritual experience. In ancient Rome, it was celebrated as Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun), while the Celts and other Indigenous cultures viewed it as a time for rituals and fires to usher back the sun. Today, we continue this legacy, recognizing our need to reconnect with nature’s rhythms and cycles.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Stonehenge was built in alignment with the solstices? People have been gathering for millennia to honor these powerful seasonal shifts.

1. Gather & Connect: Arrive and meet others, share stories, and enjoy light refreshments.
2. Setting Intentions: We’ll take time as a group to reflect on the year’s blessings and challenges.
3. Bonfire Ceremony ?: Around the fire, we’ll release what no longer serves us and welcome positive intentions for the new year.
4. Potluck Feast ?: Let’s share and savor the abundance of community with seasonal foods brought by all.

Help us plan and prepare by securing your spot. Your presence helps create a magical, meaningful evening filled with warmth, light, and new beginnings. We look forward to celebrating this special time with you!
