1:00PM Family Programming Make your own Yule Gnome named Elfie or Elf named Gnomey - in the Summer Kitchen

Join the Community members from the Pagan Spirit Gathering's (PSG) Gnome Camp in creating your own Winter Solstice Sprite. You will be able to draw or paint your own little Fae to take along. All supplies are provided. Why use Elf on a Shelf when you can have a Gnome in your home!?!

2:30pm Ornament Making with Rev. Minerva, Blake, Jocelyn, Becky & Teresa in the Temple Room

Rune/Sigil Seasonal Ornaments in the Temple Room (open to all)

We will be making clove-studded orange ornaments. You can set a rune into the orange in order to set your intent for the coming year, to provide protection, or to memorialize an event. If you'd rather use the cloves to draw a sigil or other design, great. Take these home to scent your space as they dry and to remind you of your aims for 2025.

3:30pm Break

4:00pm Yule Ritual with Rev. Minerva, Blake, Becky & Teresa  

All Hail Wassail! We will share our good wishes for the season with a toast to set our intentions for the winter and for next year's 'harvest'. We will honor this time of year and set out intentions for the coming year.
