Yule Ritual with Reclaiming LA

Join Reclaiming LA for Yule at the beach! This mid-winter solar festival marks the shortest days and longest nights of the year. We will honor the season of restorative darkness by visiting the Pacific Ocean, allowing the waters of our coastline to wash away the parts of the old year that no longer serve, and looking ahead to a time when the sun will make its return.

1:30 PM: Gather on the Beach and Drum Jam

2 PM: Ritual Begins

LOCATION

Nicholas Canyon County Beach

33850 Pacific Coast Highway

Malibu, CA 90265

The parking entrance can be hard to see. If you've gotten to Leo Carrillo you've gone too far. You can park on PCH for free and trek in, or park in the lot for $8. If you park in the lot, there are two levels of spots, and if you drive down one level, there are closer spots to the stairs leading to the beach and the ritual site. There are also ramped walkways.

We will gather on the beach, down the stairway that is visible from the lower parking lot. Look for a group of witches with drums and an altar set up on the sand.

***We suggest attendees leave extra travel time to get to this location, and carpool if possible.***

$0-$20 suggested donation. No one turned away for lack of funds. Online and cash donations accepted!

INFO

• Dress warmly; we will not have a fire at this location, and the beach becomes quite chilly with strong winds this time of year.

• You will be invited to go into the ocean as part of the ritual. Please bring your own swimsuit, towels, and a change of clothes if you plan to participate. (An alternate "plunge" will be made available for participants who do not wish to go in the water.)
• Bring something you would like to use to make sound: whether percussions, other instruments, or something unexpected!
• There will be no shared potluck. Bring whatever snacks you will need individually.
• If you are called, you may bring white and yellow flowers as an offering to the deities we work with.
