My guest for today musician Raymond Arnold. He is the creator of a secular solstice celebration that’s held every year around the time of the winter solstice worldwide. According to the official Secular Solstice website, “This holiday was created for people with a worldview rooted in both science, progress and compassion. Who want to make the world a better place, and who understand that sometimes this means learning new things that challenge your worldview. The Secular Solstice is a time when we tell inspiring stories that remind us we’re not alone. That challenge us to work to make a better future. But, crucially, those stories have a firm grounding in our latest, best understanding of the world.” So today we’re going to talk about how this celebration began, what a typical service looks like, and how people can participate.
