As darkness falls and the sea breeze forms the back curtain, we gather in a large tent on the beach for an evocative evening of storytelling, ritual and fellowship.
The evening is led by a Geopark Guide, which with narrations and sensuous communication opens the door to the universe of the Nordic goddesses and the ancient winter rituals.
We meet, among other things:
- Freja, goddess of love and fertility
- Rán, the goddess of the sea, who gathers the drowned in her net
- Skadi, goddess of winter and mountains
The narratives are supported by Nordic ambience with music and/or community singing, and participants are invited to a common, simple winter ritual where candles are lit as a symbol of the transition from darkness to light.
Outside the tent, a poetic sand theatre arises, in which Old Norse solar symbols are shaped in the sand with seashells and illuminated by lanterns.
The fire, the blankets and the warm drinks create security, tranquility and presence — in the midst of the darkness of winter.
