Solstice Resources

A meaningful tradition at the East 40 is our celebration of the changing of the seasons: Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox, and Winter Solstice.

 

At our most recent gathering on Dec. 21, East 40 Advisory Committee member Kate Scuffle shared a variety of Winter Solstice-themed poems that she had curated - these were read by our attendees as we warmed ourselves around the fire.
