Name: Yule Sunrise Hike in Rock Creek Park
Start: 2024-12-21T06:30:00-05:00
End: 2024-12-21T09:00:00-05:00

Come enjoy the winter wood in the heart of DC as we watch the return of the sun as we approach Solstice.

We'll make a roughly 1.5 mile gentle hike. We'll meet at Picnic Grove 2 which is near Blagden Ave NW just north of Pierce Mill. The hike starts with a short up hill climb, then is a fairly flat downhill grade through the woods, ending in a paved trail at the very end. Folks who need or prefer to can do just the paved portion and we'll meet half way.

Once we crest the hill, we will have time for silent meditation as the sun rises that may include sitting still, so do dress warm enough to rest for a few minutes. After the sun's rays have strengthened, we will finish our hike and celebrate by with a fire and sipping hot coffee or cider.

Be prepared for the walking in the forest:
-Wear clothing and footwear suitable to the day's weather. (We will walk in all weather.) It will be cold.
-Something to insulate from the ground may be desired as we will have some time watching the sun rise.
-Land safe offerings, such as libations or Bardic offerings are welcome
