Festival Week 2026 — The Light of Group Service
December 20–23, 2026 | Mount Shasta, California
Shasta Trinity Ashram warmly invites individuals and groups dedicated to goodwill and service to humanity to join us for a special three-day gathering in recognition of the Festival Week of the New Group of World Servers.
Our gathering begins with an informal evening of welcome and fellowship on Sunday, December 20, followed by three days of contemplative study, group meditation, spiritual alignment, and shared exploration of humanity's emerging consciousness of unity.
The gathering concludes on Wednesday, December 23, during the Capricorn full moon, offering an opportunity to unite our efforts with the worldwide observance of Festival Week, December 21–28, 2026.
Together we will explore six Observations on Group Consciousness and World Service, considering how the light of spiritual understanding may find expression through right human relations, goodwill, and practical service.
Further details concerning the venue, daily schedule, and participation arrangements will be announced.
Let love order human living and may the House of Plenty stand revealed.

EXPLORE THE SIX OBSERVATIONS
Service is the outward evidence of an awakened sense of relationship.
OBSERVATION 01 · THE FESTIVAL
The Seven-Year Rhythm
Within the Ageless Wisdom tradition, Festival Week marks a recurring seven-year opportunity to strengthen the work of goodwill and conscious group service. The observance is associated with a cycle of spiritual impression and with the greater responsibility of those seeking to serve humanity.
December 2026 follows the observance of 2019. As the world gathers in thought and action, the emphasis is not on spiritual distinction but on the recognition that service can unite people across differences of culture, belief, and circumstance.
The Festival opens on the Winter Solstice of December 21, when the shortest day in the Northern Hemisphere offers a timeless symbol of renewal. The gradual lengthening of daylight invites contemplation of the light of the Soul and its expression through intelligent, loving service.
How may the light awakening within human consciousness find fuller expression through our collective responsibility to the One Life?
Consider one quality of goodwill that you can cultivate consistently within your relationships and community.
