Celebrate the return of the Sun!

The Winter Solstice marks the turning point from deepest creative darkness to rejuvenating light. Even though we are now heading into winter, the coldest part of the year, we can look forward to the slow returning of the daylight hours. The darker days are beautiful for turning inward, for dreaming deeply, for rest. And yet, like little seeds germinating in the dark womb of the earth, we crave and turn toward the sun.

Let us gather, safely, wearing masks, outside to walk the land, to meet the medicine plants in their winter guises. We’ll spy dried leaves, brown seeds, shriveled fruit, and bare limbs. There will be some green here and there to witness, too! It’s a great time to learn how to identify plants any time of year. And to learn how to harvest medicine even in winter. We'll end the gathering with a plant connection meditation.

Please dress for the weather. Bring what you need to be comfortable (water, snacks, layers). And bring a journal if you’d like.

We’ll meet at the Flatbush Avenue entrance to Prospect Park near the carousel and Lefferts House. (Here’s a pin on the map.)

To keep our numbers small, I'm limiting the number of tickets available.
