November 14, 2025, Adrian, Michigan – Come join a ritual celebration of Winter Solstice from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, December 21, 2025, at Weber Retreat and Conference Center.
The celebration of the shortest day of the year calls us to remember, in the words of theologian Teilhard de Chardin, that “we await the coming light, rising from the darkness … ‘There is light and only light ahead of us.’” In song and dance, we will remember that we are light for those we meet and for the world.
The celebration is facilitated by Sister Esther Kennedy, OP, a Dominican Sister of Adrian, a retreat leader and spiritual director, and the facilitator of Weber Center’s monthly Days of Mindfulness.
The Winter Solstice celebration is free and open to all. Registration is not required.
Weber Center is on the campus of the Adrian Dominican Sisters Motherhouse, Adrian, Michigan. On East Siena Heights Drive, turn into the driveway between Adrian Rea Literacy Center and the solar panel-covered carport. Follow the signs to Weber Center. For information, call the Weber Center at 517-266-4000.
