Solstice Circle: Cacao + Lantern Making

WITH COLE ZLATA AND TAMARA EDWARDS

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19 · 4:00–7:00 PM · PEGASUS GARDENS, SAN RAFAEL

On one of the longest nights of the year, we gather to make our own light.

As the sun sets, breathwork guide Tamara Edwards opens a cacao circle, a ceremony for reflection, ritual and being witnessed. Then painter Cole Zlata guides us through building and painting watercolor lanterns. Her work lives in the liminal hour, celebrating the rapture of light as night falls. When our lanterns are finished, we light them together to welcome the longest night.
