Description

This is the solstice, the still point of the Sun . . .
where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath.

— Margaret Atwood

 

Celebrate the TIME OF TURNING  . . .

Solstice Celebration — June 20, 2021


 

with Jennifer Morgan, Stephan Martin, Rebecca Sophia Strong, Jessica Roemischer

This event too place on:

Sunday, June 20th, 7:00 PM ET

 


A time of ritual . . . .

From time immemorial, humans have honored the winter and summer solstices, as sacred and rich times, to align our personal and collective lives with the movement of celestial bodies.  Some of us are heading into the darkness of winter while others are headed into summer and longer days.  Wherever you are, the solstice is a planetary event.

 

You’re invited to celebrate this time of “turning” with other deeptimers.

As we align with the movement of celestial bodies, the solstice can also be a time to celebrate the birth of the universe and celebrate this special time of the year.  As part of our gathering, pianist Jessica Roemischer, astronomer Stephan Martin and social artist Rebecca Strong weave together a celebration of our relationship with Sun, Earth and Sunlight!   In this celebration, we’ll connect together through music, science, and conscious movement. We invite you to join us in celebrating the Sun’s generosity, warmth and living-giving powers.

What’s a solstice?

A solstice occurs when the Sun reaches its most northerly or southerly excursion relative to the equator. Two solstices occur annually, around June 21 and December 21.

The term solstice can also be used in a broader sense, as the day when this event occurs. The day of a solstice in both hemispheres has either the most sunlight of the year (summer solstice) or the least sunlight of the year (winter solstice) for any place other than the Equator, where the days and nights are equal in length all through the year.

The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol (“sun”) and sistere (“to stand still”), because at the solstices, the Sun appears to “stand still”; that is, the seasonal movement of the Sun’s daily path (as seen from Earth) pauses at a northern or southern limit before reversing direction.


Here’s how we’ll celebrate:

    • Experience live music
    • Express and be moved
    • Awaken your senses
    • Discover new insights
    • Connect with others across the globe
    • Celebrate the Sun!
