Secular Solstice Round Up +2024

+

by Daniel Speyer

+

Secular Solstice is a holiday designed by and for rationalists. It +started as an attempt to match the sort of gatherings traditionally +religious people tend to have in wintertime, but without compromising on +truth.

+

Is it possible to create that same sense of emotional weight without +making stuff up to do it? And without the aid of a long tradition? +(Though this is the 14th year we’re doing it, so there’s some +tradition).

+

Empirically, yes.

+

Because the world is full of things that genuinely inspire awe. +Things entirely worth honoring and celebrating.

+

And the world is also full of things that genuinely inspire fear. We +can and should face them squarely, and together.

+

This is not a silly holiday. It is not Festivus. It is not Santa +Claus and Reindeer. We gather on the longest night of the year to stare +together straight into the deepest darkness and make +it back down.

+

What does it mean in practice? Lots of singing. Some speeches. +Sometimes other things. The whole thing runs a couple of hours.

      What is Solstice? (2024)

      +

      by Daniel Speyer

      +

      Secular Solstice is a holiday designed by and for rationalists. It +started as an attempt to match the sort of gatherings traditionally +religious people tend to have in wintertime, but without compromising on +truth.

      +

      Is it possible to create that same sense of emotional weight without +making stuff up to do it? And without the aid of a long tradition? +(Though this is the 14th year we’re doing it, so there’s some +tradition).

      +

      Empirically, yes.

      +

      Because the world is full of things that genuinely inspire awe. +Things entirely worth honoring and celebrating.

      +

      And the world is also full of things that genuinely inspire fear. We +can and should face them squarely, and together.

      +

      This is not a silly holiday. It is not Festivus. It is not Santa +Claus and Reindeer. We gather on the longest night of the year to stare +together straight into the deepest darkness and make +it back down.

      +

      What does it mean in practice? Lots of singing. Some speeches. +Sometimes other things. The whole thing runs a couple of hours.
