The longest night of the year is coming, and after it, the light returns. The Cosmic Winter Solstice Fair is a full day of readings, energy work, and sound at the Ascension School of Healing Arts (ASHA) in downtown Ferndale, Michigan.
For thousands of years the solstice has been a turning point: a time to release the old year, sit honestly with the dark, and set an intention for what comes next. Close out 2026 with clarity and walk into 2027 knowing where you are headed.

Why gather before the solstice?
The winter solstice falls on December 21 this year. The fair meets two days ahead of it, while the season is at its most reflective. It is a natural window for release work, intention setting, and year-ahead readings.
Tickets
One $5 ticket, bought online (plus Eventbrite fees) or at the door, gets you in from open to close. Each practitioner sets the price for their own reading, session, or product, and cash is the safest way to pay.
