2023 Winter Solstice Soiree

Come one, come all; come corvids big and small!

For the solstice, Mariposa Institute is inviting our community to a three-day retreat to celebrate Mariposa’s accomplishments for the year, recognize our staff and board, and thank our stakeholders for supporting us in being our best. There will be workshops and events throughout the weekend, culminating in a gala dinner with music, speeches, and a silent auction. We'll round out the night with a corvid-themed masquerade ball.

 

This will be an event both to celebrate our community, and to let our community give to support our mission of education and environmental stewardship.

$360

Supporter Ticket

Our invitation is to consider choosing the Supporter Ticket if you are representing an organization or otherwise have the ability to do so. â€‹

​

​

$180

Community Ticket

Our intention is that the Community Tickets shall go to community members who want to support our mission but can't afford the regular-priced ticket. 

 

$90

Drop-In Ticket

We also included a Drop-In Ticket option so that you can attend any part of the event you wish, without feeling compelled to attend the whole event or sleep on the land.

​

Your contribution will help us to continue our mission of education and land stewardship. Every dollar counts and will make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
