West Seattle Tuesday: Finally, the solstice; ‘Wonderful Life’

The exact moment is 3:38 pm our time today – and from here on out, the days keep getting longer; spring and summer are in view! In addition to the winter-solstice-sunset viewing event we’ve been mentioning with West Seattle-residing NASA Solar System Ambassador Alice Enevoldsen at Solstice Park (sunset’s around 4:20 pm; if it’s not rainy, you’ll see Alice there by 3:30), two more events from the WSB West Seattle Holidays page, both presented by WSB sponsors: From the Christmastime-services list, Tibbetts United Methodist Church (3940 41st SW) invites you to tonight’s 7 pm Blue Christmas/Longest Night service, “a service for folks for whom this is not the most wonderful time of the year. … Join us for this service of reflection with music, readings and candle lighting to acknowledge the grief and pain and find a ray of hope.” … And at Merrill Gardens at West Seattle (4611 35th SW), the holiday classic “It’s a Wonderful Life(trailer above) plays in the theater at 1 pm, free admission and snacks.

    I am sorry that more people didn’t know about the Solstice Sound Meditation and Outdoor Fire Gong Ceremony I hosted in North Delridge at the Hummingbird Studio last evening. It was wonderful – we even had sparklers!! And, yummy food. But, there was room for a few more people. I usually hold an event every year, for Winter & Summer Solstice. Maybe next year? -Sha’ari Garfinkel, MSW, LICSW, LCSW, MT-BC, FAMI
