Winter Solstice – Celebrating the return of the LIGHT

Join Oak Grove Retreat and community this winter for a VERY special Solstice event! Enjoy a day full of welcoming the return of the light by gathering with friends at Oak Grove’s  annual Solstice celebration.

This year we are starting with a morning tea and coffee gathering. Followed by joining a worldwide live stream meditation, in partnership with the

UN International Day of Meditation for a global moment of peace & Millions Meditating Alliance. In this global meditation we will sit together in silence with the purpose of remembering who we truly are in peace, unity, and well being. During this event, deep meditative sounds will be provided by Lipbone Redding.

Please Note: Worldwide broadcast meditation starts at 11am. So please arrive early to save your spot for this special live stream event.

Our festivities continue with a light Qi Gong activity led by Susan Lee (JiMo) lead instructor at Body & Brain in Raleigh. We will have a potluck feast available throughout the afternoon with seasonal goodies. The afternoon continues with a community based conscious art project led by Kelly Rye to spark our creativity for the upcoming year. Followed by community drumming, journaling and then a fire circle. The evening closes with sounds of unity provided by Lipbone, full of music, dance, and celebration.

This winter’s solstice energy invites us to come together to offer our hopes and prayers for a brighter future through fire, friends, and feasting. We hope you are able to join the Solstice festivities! Truly a Solstice celebration that will warm our hearts through community and LIGHT!

This isn’t just an event — it’s a movement.
