The winter solstice is a secular holiday. Last Saturday was New York's large-scale celebration, designed by Ray Arnold, and this Saturday we're having a smaller and cozier local one, and putting our own spin on it. This involves sing-alongs, speeches, and contemplating our place in an uncaring universe. It has a fairly intense emotional arc, including some rather dark parts, and is quite inspirational overall.
Dinner (potluck) will start at 6 pm. The ceremony will start at 7:30 pm and last about two hours.
