Kupalo Night: Slavic Midsummer Songs and Celebration

Past event
Jul 6, 2023, 6 to 9 PM

"Kupalo" is the name of summer solstice celebrations in Eastern Slavic tradition— Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus, held on July 6 & 7. We invite you to join us as we sing to and honor and thank the sun, earth, sky, rocks, grass, trees, sheep, and wildflowers.

Flower wreath making, ancient summer solstice songs from Latvia, Lithuania, and Ukraine; Bonfire; and Honeyberry Shortcake! Tanya will demonstrate flower wreath weaving, done in Slavic traditional style with no twine. Maria and Josh will teach gorgeous traditional and a few contemporary summer solstice songs. Then we'll light a bonfire in our beautiful verdant organic apple orchard (weather permitting), sing and dance together, and eat honey berry shortcake. All ages welcome. $30/ suggested donation.
