We will be having a Secular Solstice event this year as usual! Please join us for a Solstice ritual with songs and speeches followed by an afterparty at the same location (a farmhouse that does concert rentals).
This year we’re in a fairly rural spot, so folks without cars will likely need a ride. Please see here to give/get a ride: CARPOOL SPREADSHEET
Kids are welcome; we plan to set up kid-friendly space away from the main ritual.
Doors open at 4, ritual begins at 4:30pm.
Watch this space, more details to follow. Contact Maia or Rivka with questions. Hope to see you there!
Quick weather update: Solstice will go on!
We have checked the state of plowing at the venue. The roads nearby are clear. The driveway on the property is not currently plowed but we have been told they plan to finish it up by this afternoon, and the snow coating is light enough that it’s drivable as is.
Please BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SAFETY—only come if you’re confident you can do so safely, and please drive especially slowly and carefully on any unplowed areas. The venue will NOT be salting their driveway, so watch for ice.
Hey folks! We are planning to do a potluck after the event, so please consider bringing something if it’s convenient for you to do so. There is a kitchen there, so we should be able to store items in the fridge during the Solstice ritual for afterward.
