Solstice or Yule marks the shortest day and the longest night before the return of the sun brings longer days.

It is a time to be still, quiet and introspective - to stay at home by the fire, resting and sleeping more, eating warming foods to nourish our bodies and gifting ourselves time to nourish our souls. It is a time to be with family and close friends, valuing hearth and home and close relationships. It is a time to be grateful for small and simple things.

We are blessed to have the lovely Tracy Mack to help and inspire us to sing.

After lunch we will go to the River Tamar (2pm-ish) to sing to the river and pour in water that we have gathered from many wells and other sacred places over the years.

All women are welcome to join us for this event.
Girls who are old enough to choose to come and participate are also welcome.

We’ll gather in the Crystal Barn so wear comfortable layers, warm socks and shoes that are easy to slip on and off. You might have to sit on the floor - elders have first option of chairs!

Bring lunch to share, drums, rattles and beautiful ceremony clothes for the river song.

If you have water from a special place, please bring it.

There is a small fee of £10, but we ask that you honour the day by giving as much as you can afford (please think what you usually pay for workshops!) and we’ll send all extras to The Women’s Centre, Cornwall
