Winter Spiral – Tuesday, December 19, 6:30-7:30pm - Archived

Winter Spiral

The days are shorter, the nights are longer and this Winter ritual helps remind humankind of our ability to bring our own light into darker times.

The Winter Spiral will take place Tuesday evening, December 19th from 6:30-7:30pm.  A spiral of greenery will be laid out on the floor of the quiet, darkened sanctuary.  At the center a lit candle is placed, and each person is invited to make their way through the spiral to the center, carrying an unlit candle.  When the center candle is reached they light their own candle off of the central candle and then place it somewhere along the spiral as they make their way back out.  As each person places their candle along the path the light in the room slowly grows.  It is a quiet and moving experience, both to participate in and to watch.
