Vegan Winter Solstice Party & Candlelight Ritual for Animals

You're cordially invited to our festive holiday party to celebrate the winter solstice with good cheer and join a candlelight ritual to bring light to animals suffering in dark places around the globe. As the shortest day and longest night of the year, the solstice symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and the return of the light. May our lights usher in a new era of inner peace and peace for all beings!

Program:

6pm Potluck
7pm Candlelight Ritual
8pm Solstice Party

Venue:

We're gathering indoors at a private home with plenty of free street parking. The home includes a toddler and indoor/outdoor cat. Sorry, no dogs to respect our hostess!

Potluck:

For the potluck, bring a vegan (plant-based raw and cooked foods, no animal products of any kind) potluck dish to share, your own plate/cup/utensils, and an open heart. We will have extra plates and utensils on hand. Be mindful to bring a dish versus a snack or drink so we have plenty of food for everyone.

IMPORTANT: Please bring a meal to feed 4 - 8 people versus a snack or drink so we have plenty of food for everyone.

We welcome everyone, whether you're vegan or not.
In the spirit of compassion ​and to honor animals, we request that all food is vegan and all clothing ​is free of animal products. For food, that means no flesh, dairy, eggs, or honey in food. For clothes, that means no down​, fur​, wool​, or leather​. Please share your delicious vegan ​dishes and favorite vegan clothes with us!

Ritual:

For the ritual, tea lights will be provided. You're welcome to bring your own candle. Here's an option to purchase vegan candles https://www.etsy.com/search?q=unscented%20vegan%20candle&order=most_relevant.
