***SOLSTICE: Reflections on Winter Light*** is an annual event at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Mass. that includes an outdoor journey through large-scale light and sound artworks, and an indoor experience with live music and candle lighting. Guests are invited to walk through the light-filled landscape and explore the Winter Solstice atmosphere, and to reflect on moments of change as the year ends and a new cycle begins. Connect to a landscape of exceptional beauty, consider an intention for the new year, or commemorate the memory of a loved one. Let the Solstice light your way as you encounter the unique spirit of Mount Auburn.

***\*\*\*\*\*\*Note bene: Purchase your own tickets for this event. Tickets sell out very quickly. I encourage you to [join the Friends of Mt. Auburn Cemetery](https://www.mountauburnsolstice.org/) to get in on the members-only pre-sale, which will begin on Monday, 9/22. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\****

Once pre-sales start, Friends of Mount Auburn Cemetery will get emails containing a password that enables them to purchase early tickets. Your leader is planning to purchase her own ticket for the very popular night of solstice on Dec. 21, but if it's already sold out, I'll pick another date and update this post.
