JOIN US for this year’s Solstice event: The Longest Night - December 21st, 3:40 pm - 6:30 EST

Everyone on the planet has been touched by the global challenges of the previous two years which have impacted health and well-being, income and livelihood, freedom of movement and expression and loss of “way of life”.
Families and communities have become polarised by divergent beliefs and opinions about the challenges posed by the pandemic. Entire industries have been brought to a standstill and global lockdowns have led to widespread mental health challenges.
All wisdom traditions affirm the importance of giving presence to our loss and grief, both personal and collective. Indigenous traditions and all the world's religions have various ceremonies to allow grief to be expressed and offer some form of release.
It is important for us to come together as a global community to share this moment of reflection, of sorrow and loss, that we may hold and support each other in our shared grief to acknowledge what is passing as we sense what is emerging - the seeds of the “new" seeking expression.

December 21, 2021 is “the longest night” for almost 90% of humanity who are living in the northern Hemisphere. It is an opportunity for us to come together in our collective heart.
With silence, stories, prayers, music, all in a circle of deep listening, we invite you to join us, as we gather with this sacred intention - to come together to co-witness each other and form the deeper bonds of love, friendship and community to strengthen us and enlighten us for the times to come.

The program begins with the Solstice commemoration of the Global Silent Minute, from 3:40pm. Sunset in New York is at 4:32pm that day, as we enter “The Longest Night” inviting all of us to share our stories as we re-conceive and regenerate our future through recalibrating humanity’s custodianship for our beautiful, blue planet.

"Believe me, you will find more lessons in the woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you what you cannot learn from masters." ~St. Bernard of Clairvaux ~

When we walk slowly and peacefully on the Earth, says Thich Nhat Hanh, we can imagine a lotus blooming with each step and think to ourselves, “I walk for you”.

A journey to HOMECOMING!

When we venture out into unspoiled nature, we experience the beauty and magnificence of our own true nature. We taste the promise of an enlightened world. At the same time, the challenges of these times are indicating where there are deep opportunities for healing and integration within humanity as a whole. As we do the spiritual work – especially when we do this work together – a mysterious healing occurs within life itself, we remember our real Self, and we find more and more evidence of peace and harmony in the world around us.

Simplicity creates margins and spaces and openness in our lives. It honors the resources of our small planet. It offers us the leisure of tasting the present moment. Simplicity asks us to let go of the tangle of wants so we can receive the simple gifts of life that cannot be taken away. Sleeping, eating, walking, giving and receiving love. . . . Simplicity invites us into these daily pleasures…

Here are some of the practices for simplifying:
• Uncomplicate your life by choosing a few areas in which you wish to practice “letting go.” Clean out the garage, basement, closet or attic. Go on a simple vacation. Eat more simply. . . .
• Intentionally limit your choices. Do you need six different kinds of breakfast cereal, hundreds of TV channels or four tennis rackets? What is it like to limit your choices? Does it feel free, or do want and envy surface?
• If someone admires something of yours, give it away. Find out just how attached you are to your things. . . .
• Make a catalog of all the gadgets you have in your home, from the dishwasher to the lawnmower. Which gadgets have made you freer? Which could you share? Which could you get rid of and not really miss?
• Where have you complicated your life with Spirit? Consider what actually brings you into the presence of Spirit. Spend time there.
