Winter Solstice Ceremony

You are welcome to join us in #Ffwrwm #Caerleon at 4:30pm on Sunday 21st December for a ceremony to celebrate the Winter Solstice. As the sun appears to stand still (sol-stice) for 3 days, this is a time to witness and honour the darkest time of the year. In one of the prettiest of our celebrations, we will each light a candle to celebrate the rebirth of the sun out of the darkness.

Please bring a candle in a jar, or a candle lantern with you. If we are very very lucky, Mari Lwyd may be paying us a visit, so please bring your voices also!

Our ceremony will last around 30 minutes. All are welcome. People usually stay to chat afterwards and often bring veggie food to share. Food should be easy to eat standing up! We will be outdoors, so please dress for the weather. Any natural decorations, such as seasonal flowers, are always welcome, to make the circle look lovely.

The actual ceremony is a sacred time and space, often with children accompanying their parents. We respectfully ask that you do not video the ceremony itself, and avoid including children in your photos, unless you have their parents' permission. Thank you
