About

Threshold by Candlelight: A Winter Solstice Offering
Sunday, December 20 at 4pm
Tempo Performing Arts Center, Kingston, NY

This candlelit, compline-inspired offering invites participants to gather in the dark to collectively tend grief and receive comfort through song.

Held on the eve of the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, this gathering honors the turning of the seasonal cycle and the quiet promise of returning light. Rooted in the tradition of night prayer, the evening creates space to be with what we carry, honoring the losses, endings, and transformations that are part of the sacred cycles of life.

Songs from the Threshold Choir’s non-denominational repertoire will be offered as a gentle act of communal care, providing a sonic container for listening, rest, and reflection in the reverberant church space at Tempo Performing Arts Center.

As we arrive at the threshold between darkness and light, this offering invites us to honor what has passed, find comfort in one another’s presence, and make space for what is yet to emerge.

This gathering creates an opportunity for community healing through shared presence and loving attention, while also offering an introduction to the work of the Mid-Hudson Threshold Choir and the service it provides to individuals and communities in times of transformation.

Participation is free. Registration requested so we can prepare the space accordingly.

This offering is part of the Greater Mysteries project—an ongoing seasonal exploration of the sacred cycles of life, death, and rebirth through the timeless arts of music, myth, and ritual.
