Gather with us for our Annual Winter Solstice Fundraiser, Meditation, and Holiday Celebration — an evening of reflection, renewal, and community as we honor our inner light, our shared connections, and the return of longer days.
As the longest night gives way to returning light, embrace the sacred energy of the Winter Solstice. Experience a powerful meditation and extend your light to others by helping bring comfort and joy to families in need this holiday season.
In 2023, we helped provide meals for 10 families and supported a local food bank that was on the verge of closing. This event is a fun and meaningful way to give back to the community and uplift those in need while enjoying a transformative meditation experience.
Holiday Party - Connect with like-minded individuals and spread holiday cheer at the party afterward. During the holiday portion, you’ll have the opportunity to win a gift from one of our sponsors. It’s the perfect way to embrace the magic of the season and recharge your spirit. We will provide herbal tea and holiday treats. Don’t miss out on this event!
The winter solstice is a great time to retreat. A time to slow down, enter stillness, silence and inner exploration. Being the darkest day of the year it is a great time to look at the darker aspects of our soul and bring them into the light.
Winter Solstice Meditation will be channeled by Ascension Coach, Karen Glass.

Website: fineartamerica.com/profiles/julieanne-case
Julieanne will be donating a giclee of one of her oil paintings.
Julieanne loves painting. She finds it transformative and feels that the painting flows through her. She is drawn to vibrant colors and light. From her very first painting, people remarked that her art radiated energy.
Coming from a left-brained world as a mathematician, Julieanne’s life took a dramatic turn after an accident that changed everything. At first, she didn’t fully understand the power of her work. However, once she began studying energy techniques, the feedback she received started to make sense. She discovered that she could intentionally infuse her paintings with frequencies—energies that carry meaning and emotion.
Color itself, she learned, is inherently healing.
