Join us inside the Temple walls for a winter tea party! As the longest night of the year envelops us and the quiet beauty of winter settles in, we gather to honor the Winter Solstice—a time of stillness, renewal, and the return of the light. This sacred moment marks the turning point, where darkness reaches its peak and the sun’s return begins to beckon the promise of new beginnings. Join us for an evening of quiet creativity, deep reflection, and a ceremony to welcome the rebirth of the light within and around us.
In this gathering, we will:
-Sip 4 themed teas blended from scratch by Stephanie Layne of Thistle Bee Tea
-Taste 4 delicious bites paired with our tea made by Shana Lloyd of Sprig Dining
-Learn about the history and the practice of Winter Solstice & Yule led by Sarah Monroe
-Create and take your own craft to ring in the holiday season!
