In this holy time of Advent, as we prepare to celebrate Christmas, we come upon the Winter Solstice: the shortest day and longest night of the year, when the Sun appears to stand still at its most southerly point.
Come walk the evergreen Spiral in Silence and Stillness, and open to the return of the Light.
There will be a quiet, contemplative atmosphere with gentle live music and periods of silence.
Please refrain from conversation.
