Deering Center Winter Solstice Gathering

Walk the Solstice Spiral made of evergreen boughs and lit with candles. (Meditative walk, takes 5 - 10 minutes)

Casual gathering around the fire with friends & neighbors

Share the longest night of the year and welcome the return of light. All Welcome, for young and old alike!

Special Note:

🌀Quiet & Calm: The walking of the Solstice Spiral is a silent, meditative wandering. Please enjoy stepping into the peace of the darkness with us. (Kids are very, very welcome and good at this).

🔥Noisy & Wiggly: The Bonfire is not silent and balances out the quiet, introspective experience of the Spiral. Come chat with neighbors and friends around the fire (kids are very, very welcome and also good at this).

Please do not bring: Artificial lights or dog(s) into the Spiral.
