Winter Solstice Community Gathering
December 21st - Sunday - 12:30-3pm
RSVP to Caroline if possible by 12/19 (Friday)
@ForestAndFeather34 or @1Sweet.Caroline

TICKETS:
Instead of paying a fee to attend this event, please bring a food or clothing donation with you! Please select "pay later" to attend for free. Optional cash donation.

The intention behind hosting this event is to create a space for us to come together as we are - to see, hold, and remember each others’ light! This time of year can be stressful and uprooting for many. As a community, we will root into the pulse of the earth, connect with our inner child, and honor the seasons of nature while sharing food and drink, performing ceremony, and fostering sustainability.


CEREMONY & SOUND:
As we reflect on the past calendar year, we will bring attention to our achievements, our future goals and inner wisdom to create a warm and welcoming space to share - building unity in community! Sending out gratitude to Mother Earth and celebrating the slow return of light.
*There will be candles to light in remembrance of loved ones who are no longer in physical form*

TEA PARTY:
Enjoy some intentionally curated tea blends in delicate cups!

DRESS CODE:
Dress how your inner child wants to: faery, wizard, elf, animal, holiday colors, non-holiday colors, colors of nature, fancy, casual, pjs… explore!
PARCEL PASS: Thrifted & Homemade
Everyone who chooses to may bring a thrifted or homemade gift (under $20). Those who bring an item will receive one in return.
This is a personal opportunity to connect with nature, your inner child, and intuition. Please refrain from shopping at big stores for this gathering. Reduce, reuse, recycle: heartstorm ways to use items that you already have to create a gift; or explore thrift, antique stores or yard sales for your gift or pieces to transform!
*Sustainable wrapping ideas: use recycled paper bags or newspaper.

BRING A DISH IF YOU WISH:
Seriously, only if you wish! Share a traditional recipe passed down from your ancestors, a new recipe that you love, or one that you’ve always wanted to try.

DONATION OPTIONS:
CLOTHING DONATIONS:
We will be collecting new or gently used articles of winter clothing for local shelters and people in need. (Gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, socks, coats)

FOOD DONATIONS:
We will also be collecting non-perishable food donations for local shelters and families in need. (Rice, beans, pasta, oats, canned vegetables or soups, peanut butter, jelly, nuts, tuna, crackers…etc.)
Also we will be accepting cash or online donations in exchange for use of the space and to help with supplies.
We hope to see you there - just as you are!
Prayers & Starlight :) ✨
