Seasons of Joy November Circle Time: Let Your Little Light Shine!

Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light. ~Norman B. Rice

In this one-time Seasons of Joy circle times, please join us with a light or lantern (no actual fire, please) as we celebrate the days growing shorter, the nights growing longer, and the ways we can work together to bring light into the world.

Like all Seasons of Joy Circle Times, we will by reciting a gathering poem, lighting a candle, and singing a hello song. Likewise, we will end with an end-of-circle time song. In between, we will spend time singing, moving and having conversations about the seasonal changes in the natural world, as well as how we can all work together to make the world a better place. We will tell the story of The Girl with Shining Eyes from Seasons of Joy.

Class will be fully immersive and interactive, with very little technology outside of the Zoom platform itself. Unlike our usual circle times, we will include small Waldorf-inspired "lantern walk," which is why it's important your child's light NOT use actual fire. Please consider electric tea lights, battery-powered flashlights, glowsticks, and any other unique light-making devices you may have around your home. Please be sure your device does not flash or strobe, but shines steadily. If you have any questions at all about this, please ask.

Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and then we'll need no other light. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
