Dear friends, new and old,

We are moving towards to longest night here in the northern hemisphere, and
over the last four solstices, we (friends, family and kin we haven't met
yet) have been gathering together on the Saturday before the Solstice, to
be in relationship with each other, deep time and the unexpected. We do
this because our world needs more beautiful and life enhancing ways of
gathering people from around the world to be in ceremony and ritual
together, alongside fun and play.

This year, there is a smaller hosting team than usual and we have spent
less time designing the magic that has happened in the past. However we
think that we can lean into all the creativity that has been weaving itself
into our imaginations over two years and co-host, with you, a delicious
solstice gathering.

What we have designed is a ceremony, which begins on *December 18th at 9:00
EST / 14:00 GMT / 15:00 CET / 19:30 IST*. We have musicians, poets,
performance artists and game designers on the team. We have 10 rooms
designed to cultivate a sense of imagination including the Kitchen (where
all the best side parties happen), The queue for the toilet (where you can
leave some graffiti messages on the wall), Behind the Bushes (what happens
there stays there), the Disco (self explanatory and goes on til late) and
the open mic room.

We would like to invite you. Your family, elders, young people, friends who
might like this kind of experiment and your community.

The event is hosted on QiqoChat which has Zoom embedded into it along with
some really cool digital tools to help it feel like a real party. It takes
two minutes to sign up and make a profile or you can attend as a guest.

If you haven't been before and you can't yet imagine how a digital event
can be anywhere near as good as an in person get together, then I invite
you to come and be surprised.

If you are too busy, can't imagine being online any more than you have too,
or can't come for any other reason, then thank you for being one of the
lovely people in my life that I wanted to invite.

Love and blessings to all

Jamie
