Spiral Walk
December 21, 2024, 4-6:30pm
As the days grow shorter and the mornings and evenings are darker, it is the time of year when we turn inward and celebrate our own inner light.
Due to the sub-zero temps, we will hold the Spiral Walk indoors in the Meditation Hall. At the spiral walk, we create a celebratory space for our awareness of the winter and the promise for the coming of spring.
“As the sunshine from without lightens the whole world, so the sunshine from within, if it were raised up would illuminate the whole life.”
