Topic: Racial Healing Workshop: Welcoming Spring with Ritual, Reflection and Creativity

For different cultures and traditions, Spring Equinox holds deep meaning connected to the rebirth, germination, new life, creativity, and the return of the light. People around the world continue to gather in community, ritual and celebration to honor this time of renewal. With all we are holding, with the extremes of beauty and suffering in the world, let us take time to honor the lessons of nature. The cherry blossoms in my front yard are a reminder to bloom and begin anew. The rosemary flowers invite my bee neighbors to dance and gather to make sweet honey together.

Join us in this spirit of renewal, and collectively nourishing what we want to plant seeds for, for our centers, families, and communities. We will also be reflecting on prayers and intentions for our RCC/RHI Beloved Community and for balance, justice and compassion in the world.

Please bring paper and any writing instruments you would like.
