Join us for our monthly workshop at the Dornsife Center for Neighborhood Partnerships.

In Chinese culture, the winter solstice is celebrated with the traditional Dōngzhì Festival to mark winter’s arrival. Observed on the longest night of the year, Dōngzhì is a turning point—every day after means more light. The festival’s philosophy is associated with the I-Ching hexagram fu, “Returning.”  This is the return of positive yang energy after a period of darkness.

For the last Second Tuesday workshop of 2024, we’ll write with this sense of return in mind as we take stock of what we need to reconcile with ourselves in order to make space to create something new as the solstice approaches.

Free and open to all, with community dinner immediately following.
