“The Return of Light and Hope” with Diann L. Neu and the WATER Community

December is the season of festivals of light in the Northern Hemisphere. Virtually all cultures have their own ways of marking the time. Many religious traditions mark the return of light and hope: the Buddhist Bodhi Day on December 8; the Christian Advent November 30-December 24; the Jewish Hanukkah December 14-22; the Winter Solstice on December 21; Kwanzaa December 26-January 1. Each beseeches the sun to return again and awaken hope, compassion, and justice. Join us for a ritual of hope in desperate times.

Join us to share gratitude.

Each month, Diann Neu, with the help of other WATER staff, creates a feminist liturgy honoring wise women, celebrating the seasonal holidays, or raising up a relevant feminist justice issue. As a time for gathering, singing, praying, reading, reflecting, and sharing, WATERrituals provide a space to come to the water and be stirred in the spirit. All are welcome.
