The Summer Solstice approaches! Plus online Celebrations & a Stonehenge Livestream!

Welcome Summer!  As we enter this time of greater activity and life, let’s take a moment to celebrate.  There don’t seem to be as many online Litha celebrations as last year – many seem to have shifted to outdoor, in person events.  I guess that makes sense for the this holiday which both celebrates and often enjoys wonderful outdoors weather!

The earth is a living, conscious being. In company with cultures of many different times and places, we name these things as sacred: air, fire, water, and earth.

— Starhawk, The Fifth Sacred Thing

You can join us online for The Cosmic Signal May 8th! [Starstuff, Contemplating]

Here’s an online video event about how a major site in our cosmic history has been saved!
One of the most powerful discoveries given to us by science has been learning the astounding and glorious history of how we got here.  A key part of that discovery was the finding of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB, see picture below), literally the glow of the Big Bang or Great Radiance itself!  The actual structure which gave us our earliest baby picture of ourselves was under threat from developers (for building a condo unit – seriously?), but with our efforts and the efforts of many others last year, was saved!  Join us this coming Thursday, 7 pm EDT to celebrate!  You have to register ahead of time to attend – register here.
