1. Preparing for the Solstice (read first)

2. Winter Solstice Ritual Script

Winter Solstice is one of the seasonal points on the Wheel of the Year. It is often celebrated in an earth-based meditative ritual practiced around the world in a variety of ways, adapted to the culture, beliefs and creativity of those participating. Walking a labyrinth, singing chants and doing the Spiral Dance are part of our ritual at church.

Our ritual is a journey, a slow walk to know the dark, and a slow walk to rejoice in the returning light. Whether you are young or old, living alone, with family or have “pod-mates” doing this ritual with you, we hope you enjoy the gifts that it offers in this season of illumination.
