A Forest Gathering to Welcome the Light
As winter begins to stretch its longest night, this event provides a peaceful space to gather outdoors with loved ones. Participants will embark on a short walk into the forest to reach a lantern-lit gathering spot, creating an atmosphere of wonder and connection with the season.
Once there, you can look forward to:
🔥 A cozy outdoor fire — perfect for warmth and conversation
🎶 Seasonal music to set a reflective, festive mood
☕ Warm drinks, stories, and community intentions for the year ahead
✨ Mindful celebration of the subtle lengthening of daylight ahead
This isn’t just an event — it’s a moment to pause with community, reflect on the year past, and simply enjoy the serenity of nature.
🧡 What to Bring
To make the most of this magical evening, consider bringing:
Cash – there will be vendors selling hot drinks and treats
Warm layers – winter in the woods can be chilly
Friends and family – the more, the merrier!
Arriving 10–15 minutes early is encouraged so everyone can walk into the forest together and begin the event as a community. And if you’re running late? No worries — simply follow the park maps and star-marked signs to join in.
