New Moon Solstice Gathering

~ We welcome you to join us for a New Moon Solstice Gathering to come together in sacred space to feast, celebrate, and tend a ceremonial fire. ~

~ ~ ~ INVITATION ~ ~ ~

The word Solstice means "sun stands still" in Latin. In Gaelic, the word is Grianstad that translates as "sun-stop". It is a beautiful time to take a break from your busy life to Pause with the Sun and come together for a New Moon Solstice Gathering.

During this gathering, we will weave in the teachings of the New Moon and Summer Solstice as we tend a sacred fire from dusk until dawn. We will start and end our time together with a shared feast and ceremony.

It will be a magical time of celebration and connection. We sincerely look forward to having you join us!

We will be gathering at a sacred spot next to the Nine Mile River. The address is 83933 Cransford Line near Dungannon, Ontario.

Also, please bring the the following: an item for the shared altar, drum or rattle (if you have one), camping chair, cup, bowl, cutlery, warm layers, blanket or sleeping bag, and anything else you need to be comfortable throughout the night.
