The Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year. To our ancestors, it marked the deepest point of a season that killed many. Thanks to the power of science, community, and long-term thinking, winter has now become little more than an inconvenience. The solstice also represents the light's return; tonight is the darkest it gets. Tomorrow's dawn brings with it the return of longer days. In these ways, the solstice metaphorically represents the other kinds of darkness and challenges in the world - past, present, and future - and our responsibility to rise and meet them to make tomorrow brighter than today. We will begin with a vegan potluck dinner, followed by a 90-minute program of music and prose about the history of humanity, science, existential risk, and community. Think of it like a small theatrical journey involving music to sing along to and some simple optional activities to help involve you in the narrative. The music portion will feature the local artist Mari and the Music! The event itself is free, and we will have free vegan hot cocoa available. Please bring vegan food (no drinks), potluck-style! Vegan means no animal products whatsoever; no meat, gelatin, dairy, eggs, honey, etc. There will be other drinks from a full service barista available for purchase. Well-behaved children are all welcome to attend, but please be mindful of any noise they start to make. We are holding this at the 'Arts on Broadway' event space, located inside Post Coffee company.
