Our friend Mark Green, founder of Atheopaganism (https://atheopaganism.wordpress.com/atheopaganism/), says that folks living rainy climes like ours may want to call the winter cross-quarter Riverain (https://atheopaganism.wordpress.com/2015/01/29/an-atheopagan-life-celebrating-riverain-and-adapting-the-wheel-of-the-year/), to be celebrated by getting out in nature and enjoying the rain. Join us at Lower MacCleay Park with good hiking shoes or boots that you don't mind getting muddy, and an umbrella if desired. We'll hike up the beautiful ravine into Forest Park and back, then head to a local cafe for some hot chocolate.
