ESWOW Winter Solstice Celebration Conference Call - Dec. 22, 2011 - 2011-12-15 11:05:21
The Winter Solstice is on Dec.22 this year and we will be having our ESWoW Winter Solstice Celebration on Dec. 18. The call will be at a different time than our usual community calls - 5pm Pacific, 6pm Mountain, 7pm Central, 8pm Eastern. The number to join the call is 866-740-1260, access code 5766842#,
In preparation for the winter solstice celebration we will share, I invite you to consider if there is poetry or some other reading you would like to share with the group.. One advantage of doing this in our own homes is that we can each do some things, or not do some things that feel appropriate to us.
Some possibilities that come to mind - lighting a candle, or not, spreading some pine branches in your living space, or some other greenery, decorating in a way that feels appropriate to you. It occurs to me that we could take pictures of our own set up and then share them online. If you create a setting and send me a picture before the 18th, I'll post them on our website if you give me permission, and then we have some visual connection with each other.
My recollection from last year is that group singing didn't work particularly well - it was the one time when we really experienced the problem of delays and we were not able to sing in sync with each other. Yet, we could try it again, the simpler the better - Deck the Halls, which is a Yule song, might work. I'll also plan to have some background music and opening and closing words to share.
If you plan on participating, it would be helpful to me to know that in advance. And I welcome your ideas on how we celebrate the solstice together.
I invite you to take a look at some of the comments made about our Solstice Celebration last year, along with some resources, and a place to discuss what it is like for humanists to go through the winter holiday season. You can find that forum at this link on our website. You do need to be logged in to comment, but that is a simple process.
I'm looking forward to welcoming the winter with you,
Susan
