Winter Solstice Yule Fire Circle

WINTER SOLSTICE

"Embracing the Winter Solstice or Yule Festival embodies a timeless connection to the Wheel of the Year, marking one of its eight seasonal festivals.

For generations, these celebrations have tethered us to nature's rhythms. Our ancestors lived harmoniously with the seasons, understanding their profound impact on our lives.

In our modern world, this connection has waned. We've drifted away from the intrinsic bond we share with nature. It's vital to reclaim this connection, fostering inner peace and holistic well-being.

At Dalton Moor Farm, we invite you to celebrate the Winter Solstice through a serene Fire and Drum circle, a gathering aimed at harmonizing with nature's cadence.

Meeting at the School of Sustainable Living & Wellbeing at 6 pm, we'll embark on a candlelit journey to the fire circle. Dress warmly and bring waterproof gear, as we'll immerse ourselves in nature's embrace.

Join us as we commence with a heartfelt greeting and a poetic invocation, delving into the significance of the Winter Solstice. A brief meditation will follow, leading us into shared stretching exercises.

A spirited drum circle will ensue, resonating with the rhythms of our surroundings, fostering a sense of connectedness.

Following the drumming, a pause for refreshments and conversations will provide an opportunity to share in the communal spirit.

Returning to the circle, each participant will have the chance to speak freely using a 'speaking stick,' sharing thoughts, feelings, stories, or experiences in a supportive, non-judgmental space.

Confidentiality within the circle is paramount. For those inclined, the option to release written messages into the fire offers a symbolic way to let go of the old and embrace the new.

This event allows for personal reflection, fostering a deeper connection to nature, to others, and to oneself.".
