Most of us can identify with the sentiment behind Shakespeare's words: "Winter, thy breath be rude." On the eve of the Winter Solstice, despite winter's ill-bred manners, join members of the YHC community for a celebration of winter's beauty and unexpected gifts -- including the announcement of an exciting public art project, the Green Light Project, with details about how you can get involved.

Special guest Mary Johnson will facilitate a celebration of our ability, even during the coldest and darkest time of the year, to come together to create light and warmth, as we re-commit to the well-being of the people who inhabit our city, nation, and world. The ceremony will take place on the Upper New Haven Green across from Phelps Gate at 4 PM, with a reception following at The Grove (760 Chapel Street). The full event will be moved to The Grove in the event of inclement weather. All are welcome.

Please note: This event will happen in place of our usual Humanist Haven gathering, meaning there will be no meeting at 1 PM on December 20.
