Behold the Glory of Househenge!
As this most challenging year winds down, it’s time for celebration. You are cordially invited to join us for two holiday happenings. The first is Househenge: A Winter Solstice Event. Join us just before dawn on the East Coast on Monday, December 21st for a live video stream of the return of the sun featuring the unusual alignment of Wendy’s house and what happens at first light on winter solstice morning. Grab your coffee (PJs welcome) and meet us on Facebook Live or *Zoom. We’ll share some music, readings, and conversation to celebrate this annual phenomenon. Don’t miss the glory that is Househenge!
Then on December 29th, we’ll take time to relax a little and look forward to a new year. Feel free to bring a snack and your beverage of choice and join us on Facebook Live or *Zoom for A Leftscape New Year Chillout, a fun, relaxed online party. Got a song, reading, gratitude, or game to share? Drop a note in the event invitation to let us know. Come chill out and chat with us!
