Each year on December 21st, visitors from around the world gather peacefully at the English Heritage site early in the morning to mark the most important day of the year at Stonehenge, and to see the sunrise above the stones. If you would prefer to experience the Winter Solstice like the druids do, then you may want to undertake a tour to Stonehenge instead. Head to Glastonbury, Somerset, for the Winter Solstice with the Challice Well Trust Refreshments will be available on the day. At 12:30 they are invited to join around the fire on the Lower Lawn for informal ’conversation’, the hope being that this will be an opportunity for people to share ideas, thoughts and beliefs, and perhaps also a chance to increase connection through understanding. On this date people will be gathering at the Well Head at 12pm for celebration and meditation until 12:30. One such festival, The Wheel of the Year Festival, is a Winter Solstice meditation, and will be held in the Garden on Friday December 21 between 12.00 and 12.30pm. The festivals held here are grounded in the following common principles welcome, stillness, silence, reflection, grace, communion, community, relationship, celebration, gratitude and blessing. People gather together, not in a building or structure of worship, but in the beautiful garden, with the idea being that this will allow a shared acknowledgement of the sacred and divine that members believe transcends borders and differences. Run by The Chalice Well Trust, it is a place of peace and tranquillity for those of all faiths, and also those who do not have one. If the annual hustle and bustle of the Christmas rush is getting you down then how about experiencing a different sort of celebration this December? The Winter Solstice celebrations at Chalice Well Garden in Glastonbury, and also at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, may just be the trick for a bit of peaceful meditation.Ĭhalice Well is known as a World Peace Garden.
