Sunday November 1, 2009

11 am – 3 pm

 

Step into the Gift of Spiritual Community

The Soup is On, The Doors are Open,

The Cliffside Meadow is Beckoning

Come Join Us for a Celebration

of the Wild Exuberance of Fall Harvest

and Spiritual Friendship

 

The Day after Halloween is All Soul’s Day:

A time when the veil between the worlds is thin

and people from time immemorial have gathered

to honor their connections with one another,

with the ancestors, and with the forces that maintain life.

 

If you have a Halloween Costume, or mask and would like to wear it

That would be splendid – but don’t worry if you don’t

 

Schedule for the Day

 

Join us for whatever part of the day feels right.

(Please let us know by Saturday Oct 31st at noon so we can plan food.)
