Such a great evening of entertainment was had by all who attended the Beat the Winter Blues fundraiser last night. I do believe we doubled the number of attendees from last year and the money raised will go to a fund for travel subsidies for people who wish to attend the Gaia Gathering conference in Toronto in May of 2012.

The event hosted a cauldron brimming with talent. We had storytelling, singing, dancing, spoken word, and magic! All the artist generously donated their time and talent for this fundraiser, so we owe them a debt of thanks.

To find out more about these artists, please visit their sites, attend their events, and buy their stuff. These artist work hard for your support.

It’s looking a bit cloudy out there, but we’re still going to do this thing, rain or shine (please let it shine!!). The Summer Solstice Public Ritual is taking place today at 7pm, so we hope you can join us!

The meeting spot is in Angrignon metro, but there is also a gathering spot just outside the trees that leads to the grove where the ritual will take place. Please see the graphic below for where everything is.

1. The metro where people can meet.

2. The gathering point just outside the trees.

3. The grove where the ritual will take place.

You can gather at the metro or the gathering place, but we ask that the participants do not enter the grove until the ritual starts. See you tonight!
