Fire and song, ritual and community, prayer and quiet: this inclusive gathering is centered on honoring the longest night of the year – the sacred time of Winter Solstice on the sacred land of Sinsinawa Mound. In a time of planetary upheaval it is crucial to recover our elemental sense of connection and kinship with Creator and Creation. We are inspired by Celtic tradition and the Wild Church movement. The entirety of this event will be held outdoors at Cavanaugh Park so dress accordingly

Cavanaugh Park is located on the west end of our campus across from the sisters’ cemetery. Drive through the St. Clara Academy entrance next to the Post Office on County Road Z. Stay to the left which leads out to Cavanaugh Park and the Sisters’ Cemetery.

Thursday, December 21, 6:30-8 p.m.
