Seasonal fireside celebration - Winter Solstice - sunrise edition!

Over dit evenement

Join us for a magical morning celebrating Winter Solstice, or Yule. The Solstice is a moment to stop and wait for the return of the sun, looking backwards in inner reflection and looking forwards to a new active season, as the days become longer and warmth slowly returns.
To welcome the light, we will first come together to watch the sun come up*, and then move to the fire to warm ourselves. With stories, songs, poems and other sharings we will celebrate this time of rebirth and invite the start of new cycles. What do you want to bring into the light? And what intention are you setting for the new year to come?

What to Expect:

Nature Connection: We will take the time to connect to our own nature and the world around us, using a simple nature connection practice.

Fire Ceremony: We will gather around a communal fire, a symbol of warmth, light, and transformation.

Story Sharing: Bring a story, poem, or experience to share. This is a time for communal reflection, connection, and celebration of our journeys.

Community Weaving: Meet like-minded individuals, build connections, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Solstice Celebration: Engage in activities that honour Winter Solstice, from singing to simple rituals that mark this significant time of the year.

What to Bring:

Comfortable clothing suitable for an evening outdoors.
A blanket or cushion to sit on.
Your favorite story, poem, or experience to share.

This event is bi-lingual (Dutch/English), feel free to come as you are and speak the language you are most comfortable in!
We aim to let the fire, the songs, crafting together and sitting in circle speak its own universal language.
