✦ About the Event ✦

Join us for an evening of enchantment, artistry, and celebration as Body Art Motion and AtoZ Magickal Arts presents the 6th Annual MAGIC Winter Solstice Celebration — Under the Solstice Moon.

This year’s production transforms one of Calgary’s most magical historical buildings into a living winter dreamscape — an immersive Yule-inspired ritual of fusion bellydance, live vocals, theatre, and art.

✨ Wander through the Yule Market, featuring our favorite local artisans, bakers, jewelers and alchemists.

✨ Enjoy festive mocktails and seasonal treats from The Holy Griddle.

✨ Sway to curated soundscapes by Zephrym throughout the night.

✦ The Story ✦

At the turning of the year — the longest night and a rare **New Moon** — both Sun and Moon have vanished from the sky. The world lies in darkness, waiting.

From this silence, the Fairy Godmother of Winter emerges — a timeless spirit who calls upon the creatures and fae of the forest to awaken. Owls, wolves, foxes, hares, witches, and queens gather under the Solstice Moon, guided by the Great White Stag, keeper of the returning light.

Together they journey through darkness and stillness to rediscover the flame that glows within us all. “Even in the darkest night, life is dreaming itself anew.”

✦ What to Expect ✦

🌕 A **full-length theatrical show** of dance, live music, and storytelling

🦋 A **cozy Yule artisan market** for handmade gifts and holiday treasures

🔥 A night of **community, art and celebration** under the Solstice Moon

🎭 An **immersive experience** where the audience becomes part of the forest itself

✦ Optional Dress Theme ✦

You’re invited to optionally dress as your favorite **winter fey or forest creature** — owl, fox, deer, fairy, or spirit of the woods — and become part of the dream yourself.

Costumes in muted earth tones, ivories, silvers, or soft winter hues encouraged.

✦ The Myth & the Message ✦

“Under the Solstice Moon” honors a universal truth — that even in darkness, light is born anew. It’s a celebration of artistry, renewal, and the inner fire that carries us through the winter months.

“We descend not to disappear, but to remember what roots us.

We rest, to gather strength.

We rise, because the light always returns.”
