Betwixt – Winter Solstice 2025
June 18 @ 11:11 AM - June 25 @ 11:11 AM
Come and circle together for this magical moment: Betwixt. A celebration of the liminal, the in-between, things people and spaces that are neither here nor there.
We are faeries, both and neither, we are betwixt. As we cross the threshold of the longest night into a new solar year, climb into a chrysalis, allow your body to melt into goo and trans-form into whatever you are becoming. What are you betwixt?
This winter solstice will be the continuation of the traditions we have had before. It will be a fix-it fest and more. As always, these gatherings are the communergy of the people who come and the ideas they share in the space, so start thinking about how you want to contribute and what gifts you have to bring.
We are calling any faeries to bring morning movement workshops to warm up our cold bodies on these winter mornings; we are seeking cooking faeries to keep our community kitchen buzzing and the faeries fed; we are seeking any fix-it focaliser faeries who would like to focalise projects on the land. We are seeking creative faeries with an eye for painting, decorating and interior design; massage faeries to rub the hands and feet of the fix-it faeries; and fabulous faeries to host a variety of cosy cuddly crafty evening entertainments throughout the week.
We already have a few ideas brewing in the cauldron…..led by the Kiln Guild we will be erecting the shelter for a new wood fired pottery kiln that will be constructed over the next year.
Our goats have been hard at work clearing hillsides of lantana. Across the week we will be clearing weeds, planting native rainforest seedlings, and erecting a new goat fence! Learn about land care and regeneration while getting down and dirty.
… and there are even rumours of a sauna being created and more..
The night of Wednesday the 21st we will gather around the solstice fire to dance our way through the longest night together, and jump over the yule log together as we welcome in the dawn. Bring costumes, musical instruments, magic and mischief.
If you have a project you would like to do on the land please get in touch @ yoohoo@faerieland.org or mention it in your registration…. and we will see if we can make it happen this winter. Bring your boots, gloves and practical clothes, be prepared to get down and dirty, also bring your heels and frocks as it wont be all work but also play.
