Tapestry will offer Circle of Trees during worship on the 3rd Sunday of each month from September - April. Tapestry's Circle of Trees is a multi-generational program of eight workshops that nurture deep connection with trees, nature, and all of earth's living creatures. The program uses trees as an entry point to understand and connect with life on earth. Across many cultures, trees are recognized as a symbol for life on earth—for example, the biblical Tree of Life. Even young children understand trees as sustainers of life, fundamental engines of life on earth as we know it. Trees create and purify the air we breathe. They house and provide resources for myriad creatures, including humans. They bring us peace, joy, and delight.
This program will:
Provide a basic understanding of why trees are, literally, “providers of life”
Identify threats to trees and the web of life and provide inspiration to take action
Explore using methods that are spiritual, non-intellectual, with the hope of fostering deep connection
Provide meaningful ways in which participants can actively promote the health of trees and, by extension, the web of life
Reinforce the concept of interdependence as expressed in the seventh Unitarian Universalist Principle, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part”
Affirm that stewardship of the earth is an explicit act of Unitarian Universalist faith.
Plan on likely going outside and be prepared for the session to last 60-90 minutes. The opportunity will be announced during worship and those interested in participating will leave after announcements.
