New Years Eve Burning Bowl Service

December 31st at 6:30 PM

The Burning Bowl Ceremony is a New Year ritual of release and renewal. Through reflection, intention, and sacred fire, we let go of what no longer serves and open space for clarity and guidance. This experience invites us to step into the new year grounded, grateful, and aligned. With William Lead , Ezekiel Steward, and Lisa Swisher doing sound. All are welcome.

Member Appreciation

Since we are a non-profit, having organized financials is a must. This is no easy task with the variety of income and expenses we have. We have a paid bookkeeper, but in order to keep our expenses down many of the basic software entries, payments, and bank visits have been done by our board president, Sarah Jones, and our board treasurer, Eric Moyerman. Sarah and Eric have put in countless hours of volunteer time this past year, much if it doing behind the scene tasks. I want to be sure they get the recognition they deserve for their many hours of service. We see you and appreciate you Sarah and Eric! 🙏🏽💕🙏🏽 Sarah was able to step down from her bookkeeping tasks after member Haven Parsons recently took those over. Thank you Haven!!
