We're looking for speakers for the Boston Solstice. This year Solstice is December 28th, 7pm. Being a speaker at solstice is pretty straightforward; public speaking skill is useful but you can read off a script, don't feel like you need to memorize something.
If you're at all interested, reach out. We have speeches ranging from very short and silly to a couple of pages and somber.
Additionally, if you feel like you have an original speech on the themes of persistence or camaraderie, especially if you feel you have a good speech about not giving up even when it's hard, then please feel free to send a draft! The overall arc is set at this point but you might have something better for a given slot.
Thank you all for coming to Solstice! If you'd like to give any feedback, we have a form for that here: https://tinyurl.com/bos-solstice-survey.
As the year comes to an end, the days have grown shorter and the nights have grown longer. Tonight we remember the ancient days of humanity's past, and sing of the future we might hope for. There is uncertainty in both directions. We cannot know for sure what has been, and we cannot say what the future will be. There is this, however:
Tomorrow will be brighter than today.
Solstice will be on December 28th. Doors open at 6:30; Solstice starts at 7:00. Please arrive on time to avoid disrupting the somber and more serious parts of the program. RSVPs are appreciated so we can plan appropriately.
If you have never been to a Secular Solstice in this style before, you should expect alternating speeches and songs, social pressure to join in the singing, and discussion of death in the speeches.
This year we're at Connexion, about a half mile from Sullivan Square Station.
