Its all about Community

This time of year its so easy to forget the important things. The weather is cold, it feels constantly gray and dreary outside, and people are already stressing over getting 'the perfect Yule gift' and the bills that may follow in the wake of what said gift may be.

Take a moment to pause and consider: What is this season all about? We are nearing Yule, the Winter Solstice. On that shortest day of the year, we focus on the light that shines, perhaps not in the skies, but in our hearts. We hold vigils for the return of the light with friends and families, finding comfort and love in one another.

This season, we invite you to take some time to share your light, and to connect with others around you. Here are a few ways you can connect and share:

Pagan Public Discussion (MPRC)
This is an open public discussion hosted by the MPRC (Montreal Pagan Resource Centre). Come share your views and opinions on various challenging topics. This month's topic: "Living everyday with the Gods and Nature Spirits: How we keep the daily magic alive in our current times."

Thursday December 4th 6:30-9 pm FREE
*Public pagan Discussion nights are held on the first Thursday of every month*
