Winter Solstice Potluck and Puja

Winter Solstice Potluck and Puja | Wednesday December 21st, 6-8:45pm

Doors at 6pm; potluck at 6:30; puja at 7:30

All are welcome for a special evening on the darkest day of the year! Please join us in celebrating the turning of the season, and the coming of new light. The Winter Solstice is a time of rebirth and new beginnings, of creative transformation and of letting go.

Aryaloka will be open at 6pm. Please bring a vegetarian or vegan dish to share at the potluck; the potluck will begin at 6:30. At 7:30 we will engage in a special puja (devotional ritual) to welcome the light. The evening will conclude with a fire and vegan marshmallows!

The 7:30 puja will be available on Zoom! Click Here to join on Zoom.
