December 3: "A Personal View of What is Happening Today”
Presented by Will Lettick, who will introduce Goa Gil, a pioneer of psytronic music as well as talk of his own Jewish American experience with multiple religious affiliations. Specifically, his view of what is going on in the U.S., the Middle East and Israel. Owen Charles is co-coordinator.

December 10: “Update on the Southern Border.”
For the last two months Lynne and Owen Charles have been providing humanitarian aid at the border wall south of Ajo, AZ. Through the organization Humane Borders, they and other volunteers provide food, water, and medical aid to those seeking asylum. Daily hundreds of people cross over this 25 mile portion of the border. They come from around the world, including Senegal, India, Nepal, Colombia, and Ecuador, many having spent their life savings and months of perilous travel to arrive here. (coordinated by Lynne and Owen Charles)

December 17: "Solstice Images."
When we withdraw our senses from the external world and conjure an internal landscape, what are its amazing features and how do they relate to 'normal' space? This will be our work in this 'conventional' Yule service coordinated by Mockingbird aka Francis.

December 24: “The Traditional Revels: Wassail and the Mummers Play of St. George (with Dragons!)”
A Christmas Eve service that would fit in pagan times, coordinated by Yann.

December 31: “New Traditions: Saying Goodbye to 2023.”
Often in the New Year resolutions are set. I invite you to reflect, reimagine, and examine your beliefs on new and old traditions. Coordinated by Tabitha.
