Women's Solstice Day
Sunday 21 December 10:30am – 4:30pm
Join Atulyamati and other women in a joyful celebration of winter solstice, a time of dreams and mysteries, a time of preparing the ground for renewal and growth.
On this day we meditate for peace, reflect on our life, embrace the darkness of the winter, and bring back the light in a ritual celebration.
The day is an opportunity to have fun in the company of other women as well as experience meaningful sharing and the awe at the beauty and magic of life.
Come to share your dreams and veggie lunch!
