The Focus of this Festival: The Winter Solstice is a time of resting and nurturing through the long darkness. Like our mother's womb, the energy of the season is receptivity - opening to what is.

We will cover the meaning and myth of the winter solstice, and experience its first rays lighting up the megalithic passage tomb of Newgrange, County Meath, Ireland, the dating of Christmas; and how to create and use your own Liturgy of the Hours as a way to "pray unceasingly."
