Season Assemblies

As the waning days of autumn reach their darkest at the winter solstice, we yearn for the return of warmth and light. At this time of year, many cultures celebrate holidays seeking to renew both the inner and outer light of our lives. There is a special mood of quiet contemplation that brings us into a deeper relationship with the world around us as manifest in the four kingdoms of nature – mineral, plant, animal, and human.

The UVWS Faculty and Staff warmly invite you to attend our twice-weekly gatherings in honor of the season and festivals of light. During the month of December, we will gather at 8:20 on Mondays and Fridays to light candles and sing seasonal songs. On Friday, December 19th we will host a festive Community Singalong. We hope that you will join us for some or all of these offerings. Please refer to our events listings for more specific information.
