Annual Winter Solstice Hike

Join us for our second annual Winter Solstice hike to Clarke Head. This event is carefully timed to coincide with low tide and sunset on December 21st.

Our destination is Clarke Head Arch where we will build a small solstice fire and share a hot beverage and seasonal home-made treats. There will be time to reflect on the past and set intentions for the new season. We had a lively group last year. Click here to see images and read about the inaugural event.

Come out and take part in this special outing. Listen to the waves lapping at the shore. Find a solitary spot among the seaweed-covered rocks to meditate or simply listen to nature.

Here are the details:
We meet at the Glooscap Campground gate at 1pm.
Please dress in layers, this includes bringing an extra sweater or jacket to avoid chills for when we stop moving. Bring a hat and mittens, water or a warm drink, daypack, trekking poles (I have several pair for lending out).

As your hike leader, I will carry supplies for a small fire, cook stove and pot, hot chocolate and tea, water, seasonal goodies to share, mugs, sit-upons, hand warmers and First Aid supplies. Pre-registration is required.
The fee to participate is $ 30/person, cash or e-transfer. Limited to 6 participants, register early!

It takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach Clarke Head. We will return to our cars by 4:30pm. Sunset on December 21st is at 4:38pm.

Email Anna if you have questions or to register.
