Winter Solstice Celebration
Richmond Beach Park
Shoreline, WAOnline and In-Person Event
Let's welcome the season of darkness and make light together around a beach bonfire (or online). Well celebrate the Winter Solstice with community and connection to nature. Well watch the sun set on the longest night of the year and reflect on the earths position and the cycles of our natural world. Well be led in simple solstice songs (singing or listening are equal choices) and share reflection and gentle contemplative practice. One version of this program will take place at the beach, and another version will take place online at the same time.
LOCATION UPDATE: Seattle Parks closed the Carkeek fire pit, so we are moving to the fire pit at Richmond Beach.
This event is suitable for all ages and would be most engaging for ages 12 and up.
If you are attending in person, bring weather-appropriate wear and (if desired) your favorite hot beverage. If it is raining, the beach gathering will be relocated indoors. Please RSVP to receive any location updates.

Please donate to help us meet our costs. Everyone is welcome to attend, regardless of ability to pay.
