"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."
- Albert Camus
Tonight is a special evening as this year the winter solstice coincides with a lunar eclipse for the first time in 456 years.
A lunar eclipse is a time of new beginnings. It’s a time of uniting, coming into presence, engaging with the world and gaining new perspective. The winter solstice has traditionally been a time of rebirth, prayer and celebration around the world since ancient times. It also marks the coming of winter and is both the darkest and longest evening and thus, the shortest day. Combined, they simply give us an opportunity to embrace change, come together in community and celebrate the changing of the season and the return of the light.
In the spirit of this event, tonight’s class focus is on celebrating endings and beginnings in community and honoring the darkness and light to come. As a bonus, included in tonight’s routine are a couple of holiday songs.
Let’s celebrate!
Class tonight 5:30pm – 6:30pm at Open Flight Studio in the University District.
