Winter Geo-Solstice

3:30pm - dark

The winter solstice, also known as mid-winter, marks the day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year. It occurs when one of the Earth's poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun and happens twice yearly -- once in each hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, this is the December solstice.

Worldwide interpretation of the event varies across cultures, but many people gather to recognize a time of rebirth with festivals, rituals, or other celebrations around this time.  Fires are often lit to symbolize the heat, light, and life-giving properties of the returning sun. Some may throw an emblem of the previous year into the flames to recognize the ending of that phase and movement on to a new beginning.

We'll meet on the beach at the fire ring. Bring firewood and/or something to burn.  Maybe some food to share. Or just come to socialize. We can trade TBs and talk story.  It's likely to be cold, especially after nightfall, so bring warm clothes.
