Summer Solstice Gathering

On Saturday, June 20th, the board of directors at Spirit in Nature invites you to pause and welcome the change in season. Follow the lantern-lit path to the Sacred Circle, joining friends and neighbors in the warmth of community around a fire. Beautiful new benches have now been built for this space. Pour a cup of tea and roast some s’mores. Help us in the contemplative act of piecing together a nature mandala over the course of the evening. We’ll have a gently guided time of “going out” into the land for quiet observation, and “coming in” for sharing the experience with one another. Join us in sharing around the circle with a poem, a thought, or a story. A reading of the picture book Roxaboxen by Alice McLerran will be on offer. Shari Garn will lead any interested singers in a few songs together. Feel free to bring a drum, or other percussion instrument, if you’d like.  Consider bringing a flashlight, and perhaps a poem or a thought to share. We’ll gather at 7:30pm and close with the singing bowl around the fire at 9pm. Young or old, of any faith or none at all, all are most welcome!
