Living Earth’s annual Solstice Celebration is a bow to our planet’s celestial dance, with music and reflection, candlelighting, stories, and a circle dance. Barbara Ford and Betsy Toll will share remembrances of their teacher and friend, Joanna Macy. All are welcome!
Music with Kavita MacMillan and Friends will bring all our voices into this space.

This year the world & our planet have entered a strange bardo, a nebulous state between past and future. We can’t go back and the path ahead is unnerving and uncertain. But visions of a world of greater cooperation and compassion, creativity and courage, justice and joy are germinating like seeds beneath the winter snow, waiting for spring.
Register now, space may be limited.
Remember, donations of like-new winter clothing for Warm Springs are also welcome at the door! We’ll turn toward the winter with our hearts full of warmth, community, and care.
