Back in those days, there was darkness, and so we created light. 
There was hunger, and so we invented agriculture. 
There was sickness, and so we created medicine.

Back in *these* days, well, there was still sickness sometimes, and many of us continued to create medicine... and some of us created brand new tools for online rituals that anyone could join the world-over.

This December 19th, we'll be hosting Secular Solstice Online, for the American continental timezones. (Other timezones also welcome if you feel like staying up late/early). We'll be singing together using custom software that we built to enable Solstice, telling stories, and joining together for an online festival and afterparty.

Reminder:
– Requires Chrome
– Works much better with a WIRED headset (not bluetooth)
– Works much better with WIRED internet (not wifi)
– You may need to close other tabs or applications that are takng up lots of bandwidth.
– Having candles is nice

 

The "virtual doors" will open at 4:30pm PT, 7:30 pm ET. There will be some initial period as we wait for people to file in. We will aim to start the ceremony at 4:45pm, but it might be a bit delayed depending on whether there are unexpected technical hiccups for a lot of people.

Who is organizing this ? Ie if i wanted to read something, who should I contact?

It's being organized by myself, Alex Altair, and Laura Vaughn. I think PMing me is a good place to start and I can transition it into some kind of group chat afterwards.

Pretty sure Raemon is a fine contact.
