The winter solstice marks the darkest point of the year, yet also the beginning of the return of light. Let us come together, acknowledge the darkness in our lives and in the world, and embrace our shared hope for a brighter tomorrow ... All welcome. This will be a pluralist event (for people of all faith and none). The event was designed to support those who put their energy towards making the world better for others. The focus is a ceremony with readings, poems and communal singing – with a theme of hope. You are invited to bring a poem/quote to read or share (for inspiration see https://bit.ly/3GDNeC7) and if possible to bring a thing to make the space nice (like a cushion, wall-hanging, fairy lights, etc). We ask for an optional suggested donation of £10 to cover food and venue costs. PLAN –––– ○ 5-7pm – SET-UP: Anyone who can turn up early is invited to help us cook and set up the space.
