The Community Environment Network (CEN) will hold a Winter Solstice celebration on Friday, 23 June and The Point’s publisher has been invited to speak.
CEN is holding a Winter Solstice celebration for the second year running on Friday, 23 June including three speakers, craft stalls, and wine and cheese.
This year three speakers have been chosen to present on the evening: Dr Bob Fuller who is a cultural astronomy teacher, Paul Craig a Guringai Traditional Owner and Jacquelene Pearson, poet and publisher of The Point.
Last year’s event was well attended and an opportunity to enjoy networking and socialising in CEN’s wildplant nursery at the Ourimbah Campus of the University of Newcastle.
This year gates will open at 3.30pm for a 4pm start and the event will run until 6pm.
Jacquelene Pearson will be reading poems from her collection, Mother’s Song, and speaking about The Point and public interest journalism.
“It is an absolute privilege to be chosen to speak alongside Dr Bob Fuller and Paul Craig. I have a great deal of respect for both men. I cannot wait to hear them speak about Indigenous astronomy and the local Indigenous history of the Central Coast.
“I will be reading some poems from Mother’s Song that are about the moon, tides, the ocean and nature. I hope you can join me.”
Tickets are available via CEN’s website – $10 for CEN members and $15 for non-members.
