Winter is a time for reflection, for the incubation of new ideas, and for deepening our inner selves. 

December 21 marks this year's Winter Solstice, the Longest Night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. After the Longest Night, each night gets progressively shorter until the Summer Solstice.

Join us for a party built around some simple rituals that honor the deep white silence of winter and celebrate the promise of the sun's return. 

Kids are welcome. We'll be lighting candles, singing carols, and roasting veggie dogs over an outdoor yule log.

If you'd like alcohol, feel free to bring it. We'll be serving hot cocoa, "unspiked" cider, egg nog, and other traditional holiday fare.
