Celebrate the Winter Solstice with an afternoon of hands-on fun, creativity, and light! Our very first Solstice Celebration brings together craft stations, cozy spaces, and seasonal inspiration—perfect for curious minds of all ages. Several of our Heritage Gift Gallery artists will be onsite to guide activities and spark your creativity.

In the Heritage Church — Moon Magic 🌙
Step into a cozy moonlit world with a glowing moon projection, twinkling candlelight, gentle chimes, and soft, dreamy ambience.

Moon-Themed Stations:

  • Create Your Own Flip-Book Moon: Watch the moon’s phases come to life with every flip.
  • Colouring Corner: Enjoy moon-inspired colouring fun.
  • Sensory Space: Listen to the sounds of nighttime critters.
  • Let-Go & Intention Jar: Write down your hopes and tuck them away for a little moon-magic wish.

In the Main Hall — Sunshine Central ☀️
A bright sun projection sets the scene for cheerful, light-filled crafting.

Sun Stations:

  • Sun Wands: Make a colorful sun wand from wood and yarn to take home.
  • Orange Slice Garland or Angels: Craft fragrant garlands or charming angel ornaments for your home.
  • Sun Catchers: Create a vibrant window charm to brighten your space.

Out on the Grounds — Fireside Fun 🔥
Cozy up by the mini firepit, roast marshmallows, sip warm cider, and enjoy a sweet treat. Write a note of reflection or hope, wander among glowing jar lanterns, and take home a tiny seed—a symbol of growth and new beginnings for the year ahead.

Join us for a magical Solstice afternoon filled with creativity, community, and seasonal cheer!
