Solstice events

FALMOUTH – Maine Audubon will offer a yoga program from 3 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 17, at Gilsland Farm Audubon Center to mark the winter solstice. Several days later, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 21, the center will host a winter solstice celebration.

Led by Deborah Cook, Kripalu-certified yoga teacher and founder of Yoga in Maine, the yoga program features gentle movement, breathing and meditation followed by tea and light snacks.

The winter solstice celebration will include candlelighting, a seasonal craft, a ceremony honoring the four directions and a storyteller who will weave a tale about wildlife and the season. The yoga program is $25 a person. The solstice celebration is $8/adult and $3/child for Maine Audubon members, $10/adult and $4/child for nonmembers. Advance registration is necessary for both.
