You are invited to join us in celebrating the Winter Solstice with a traditional handfasting ceremony.We will open on the morning of the Solstice, December 21 at 8:30 AM, to witness the joining of two people through this ancient rite—then celebrate together in the spirit of past communities who gathered to honor the turning of the season.
The word “handfasting” comes from the Old Norse hand-festa, meaning “to strike a bargain by joining hands.” Historically, it served as a form of betrothal and, in some regions, as a temporary union lasting a year and a day. Today, couples embrace this tradition for its symbolism and beauty, using the binding of hands to represent unity, commitment, and enduring love.
