The Shortest Day Is Here!
Stuff We Love
Dec. 14, 2024
The winter solstice arrives this week on Dec. 21, marking the end of the shortening days and the beginning of longer ones. Several local groups are observing the change of seasons. On Dec. 20, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Grand Traverse will offer two rituals and “joyful revelry” starting at 5pm and featuring the music of North Bay Celtic. All are welcome to this free event; see more at uucgt.org. Northern Michigan Ecstatic Dance will host a Winter Solstice Dance Retreat ($25-$100, depending on participation) on Dec. 21 at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, complete with a sunrise greeting, dancing, dune exploring, a potluck dinner, and an evening fire. Learn more at nomiecstatic.dance. Also on Dec. 21, the Grand Traverse Humanists will have a Winter Solstice Celebration at 7pm. See details at gthumanists.org.
