We will meet in the lower fields. Lanterns will be lit at 6pm and we will walk peacefully through the lower fields by lantern light.
You are encouraged to bring your own homemade ( or store bought) lantern BUT if you need one arrive early and you can make your own!
We will supply everyone with real tea lights or LED's and have lighters on hand, although extras never hurt.
ALL AGES / Registration is required at [email protected]
A winter solstice lantern walk is a magical and meaningful event that brings people together to celebrate nature, light, and the spirit of community during the darkest time of the year.
Winter solstice is the shortest day and the longest night of the year. This event is often celebrated in various cultures around the world and involves participants carrying lanterns as they walk together, illuminating the darkness with the warm glow of their lights. The walk is often silent or accompanied by peaceful music, allowing people to reflect on the significance of the winter solstice, the changing seasons, and the cycle of life.
The lanterns symbolize hope, renewal, and the power of light in the midst of darkness. They represent the idea that even in the coldest and darkest times of the year, there is light and warmth within us and around us.
The lantern walk fosters a sense of community and unity among participants. People of all ages and backgrounds come together to celebrate the solstice, reinforcing the importance of harmony, peace, and cooperation in the community.
