HUGE THANKS to everyone who’s already donated art & volunteer time to “Electric Sun” – Comfort & Joy’s 3rd Annual Solstice Gala Celebration! This upcoming event (on Sunday, December 20th) is already overflowing with art, theatrical performance, dance, video, ritual, short film… and much more!
All this spectacle & support raises a lot of $$ for radical faerie infrastructure projects…LITERALLY building community while celebrating a high holiday. In the past two years this annual event has raised over ten thousand dollars for Wolf Creek, Raven’s Crossing, Short Mountain and Burning Man. (Check out 2008’s Solstice Results Report.) Please join us our efforts this year!
We have an amazing lineup of performers coming together & a growing pile of inspired ART for the silent art auction (and it’s not too late to donate items!)… We are blessed to have a number of loving & capable people stepping forward to lead volunteer areas… and there’s plenty of room for YOU to help make this long night BRIGHT!
Comfort & Joy INVITES YOU to showcase your community spirit, volunteer, celebrate and contribute your visual, performance and cinematic visions of the future. There are many ways to participate in this faerie holiday community fundraiser.
Please consider donating your art, talent & community spirit to one of our event teams:
- Art Exhibit & Silent Auction
- Community Altars
- Performance Cabaret
- Festive Feast
- Solstice Ritual(s)
- Live Music

It’s time to reinvent Solstice traditions. Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year, the moment when the pendulum swings back & the sun returns. Think about breaking through to new tomorrows. What are your utopian dreams, and WHAT are you wearing, queen?
Winter Solstice is a time of hope about bright days ahead… a holiday where we can come together to ENVISION our shared future, BUILD support for our rural Sanctuary spaces, ENJOY fabulous performances and CELEBRATE our diverse community together!
