Please bring your family and friends and join us at 11:30am-1:00pm on the Sunday after the Spring Equinox this year, for a ceremony at the base of the stairs to the beach at Bay View Park in Milwaukee, to intentionally connect in community and to celebrate the mid-point of the waxing season of the year.
We meet outside throughout the year to remember that we are nature and to reawaken in ourselves the wisdom of each season by connecting with the elements and other living beings moving through life with us. Although we come from many traditions and cultures, the reverence for the Earth and for the greater than human wisdom we can tap into is the foundation of our ceremonies.
Our gatherings are for anyone who is willing to co-create the ceremony from a place of a non-judgmental, authentic, and even vulnerable presence. Respect and peaceful intentions are key. We enter our ceremonies connecting to a heart space and from there–connecting to each other and to a wider world. Anyone who aligns with those values is welcome to join our ceremony. We hope to see you there!
