You're Invited to a Full Moon Gathering

Date: Friday, March 14, 2025

Location: Mabel’s Studio, Norman Bird Sanctuary

Join us for a magical and meaningful evening of connection and celebration. We will begin with a community potluck dinner, so please bring a dish to share.

As the moon rises in the aftermath of the lunar eclipse, we’ll come together for music, chanting, meditation, poetry, and meaningful conversations. In gathering together we’ll bask in the uplifting energy of the full moon while honoring the vibrant festival of Holi, a celebration of color and the arrival of Spring.

Come with an open heart and be ready to enjoy a variety of devotional spiritual practices led by Rev Shelley and Greg.

Donation based tickets on Eventbrite


RESTORE - Spring Mini Retreat:
Yoga, Nature, Community
Mabel's Studio at Norman Bird Sanctuary
Sunday, March 23rd, 2025

The community is invited to enjoy an afternoon of contemplative, mindful, restorative self-care: tending to the body, mind and soul. Those who gather with us will be led through a restorative yoga practice with an extended relaxation meditation. There will then be time for quiet personal reflection which could include journaling, a stroll outdoors or simply resting in the afterglow of a deep yoga experience. We will conclude with a Spring Equinox guided conversation, considering our response to these affirmations:

1. “I release what no longer serves me, creating space for new energy, clarity, and joy.”
2. “I trust the natural rhythm of my life, knowing that along with each ending comes a new beginning.”
3. “I welcome this Spring season of renewal with an open heart, embracing growth, love, and possibility.”

Those who participate in this heart-warming gathering can look forward to leaving with their sense of peace, loving-kindness, hope & well-being restored.
Please bring: yoga mat, pillow, blanket, journal, outdoor clothing in case you wish to take a walk.
Offered by donation on a sliding scale of $30-$60, tickets on Eventbrite.
