2025 Winter Solstice: A Night of Reflection & Light

December 20, 2025

Date and Time Details:
4:00-8:00 PM

Location: Bethlehem Centre

Address: 2371 Arbot Road, Nanaimo, BC, Canada

Join us for “A Night of Reflection and Light”, a magical evening of reflection, shared contemplation and connection in support of Bethlehem Centre on Westwood Lake.

The winter solstice marks the longest night of the year—a turning point from darkness to light. As we lean into the quiet of winter, we welcome a time of inner listening—reconnecting with ourselves, with one another, and with what matters most.

Come step into stillness and celebrate with traditional carols and simple chants honouring the solstice. Storytelling: weaving history, myth, and magic into exquisite wondertales.

This special evening offers two meaningful ways to participate:
