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.
