Litha 2026

Join the House for it's Litha celebration!

We'll gather around 3pm and our ceremony will begin no later than 3:30 to allow for some setup time and folks to arrive, since Rock Creek Park can be a little difficult to navigate to and within. This year, to celebrate the solstice, we'll be using some flower metaphors, specifically sunflowers, naturally. In addition to that celebration, Litha is also when we have traditionally held our Initiations into the House and, newly, rededications for existing House members.

After the ceremony, we'll have a feast! Well, usually more like a pot luck snack. We would love for you to bring something to share. It doesn't have to be homemade (though homemade is great!); you can just stop at the store on your way and grab something if that's easier for you. To help us plan, please add your food offering to our Pot Luck menu.

And, since Rock Creek doesn't have a convenient metro station, we ask both drivers and passengers to add their information to our Carpooling Signup sheet. There are some busses that will get you close to our location, too. Specifically, bus stop #1002927 and bus stop #1002894 are at the intersection of 16th and Aspen. Then, if you walk down Sherril Drive NW into the park, our grove is about 4/10ths of a mile from there.

If you have any questions, post here or join our Discord and drop us a line there. See you soon!
