Community Earth Celebrations:
Earth celebrations are our primary rhythm of community practice. These are gently curated in collaboration with the land, Spirit, the seasons, and each other .
Sing Up the Sun Solstice Celebration
All ages welcome to these light hearted gatherings in honor of the change of seasons, the balance of the elements, and the cycles of death and birth. Attune to Mother Earth’s rhythms, be among friends, and share joys and sorrows through song, ritual and connection to others.
In these offerings, we aim to nurture creative light-hearted cultural practices that honor the web of life to which we belong.
We draw on seasonal markers that have been honored by cultures worldwide, and aim to be culturally respectful and inclusive of any and all lineages and people.
Gatherings typically include a potluck, call-and-response singing, and a simple earth-based ritual.
By donation, suggested $20-$50

“[In Circle] I found a new paradigm and way of viewing the world that was so different from my previous Christian experience. There was so much acceptance, grace and open mindedness...a chance to be heard, seen and valued. I learned...to be more loving of myself and others. ”
