Note: There was a Solstice in Leipzig, Germany last year. It was had chaosmage as the "soul" of the event, both in the logistical and the artistic sense (As such, it was pretty different from the event I ran - less singing, more dancing and mediation. I'll be incorporating some of that into my next one)

If there's to be a big solstice in Europe this year, I suspect that his event is the natural Schelling point.

We'll do a Secular Solstice in the center of Leipzig on the 19th to 21st of December this year. It'll be long, rich and intense, so it is worth a long trip from, say, Austria! Not too big though: We have beds for 8 guests, camping mat space for another 10, and a ritual space for about 25 to 30 people.

There's no admission fee. Everyone is expected to help with the cooking. It'll feel like the most awesome family gathering you've ever attended.

A formal invitation is coming up one of these days. But if you're already willing to try this, and particularly if you're from far away and want a bed, message me to beat the crowds...
