Chanukah comes at the darkest time of the year, as the days shorten toward the winter solstice. On the third night, join us on the farm to mark the season together:

We’ll start at 4 pm with a family-friendly guided walk through the Living Tree field, led by Education Director Melanie Grubman. As the sky begins to darken, we’ll connect with our place in seasonal time and on the land.

Then, we’ll gather to bring in the light, with a song circle with Vermont songleader Heidi Wilson, who has spent two decades bringing people of all ages together in song. We’ll sing, light the Chanukah candles, and close with a few soulful holiday songs.

Then we’ll dig into a Living Tree latke feast! (We’ll provide the latkes; please bring a vegetarian dish to share for a potluck.) The evening ends around the bonfire, with dreidel, perhaps a story, and a song or two.
