Planting Seeds of Peace: an EarthDay Sunset Meditation

Thursday, April 22, 2021 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM


With the Earth as our common home, "Planting Seeds of Peace: An Earth Day Sunset Meditation" will be an interfaith celebration connecting all people around our united reverence for nature and care for the environment.  Join us for a time of prayer, reflection, and mindful practices as we seek peace for our planet and all people.

Although our corporate time will begin at 6:30 pm, with sunset scheduled for 7:35 pm, you are invited to come earlier to walk the outdoor labyrinths of the Ridge and to bring a picnic dinner which you can enjoy onsite.  The grounds of Rolling Ridge will be open all afternoon for guests to enjoy.

There is no charge for this event, but a freewill offering to support the work of Ridge is encouraged.

Please register to let us know you are coming.

Please arrive wearing a mask and be prepared to maintain physical distance.

WEATHER UPDATE:  Dress warm as temperatures are dropping on Thursday with forecast highs in the mid-40's.
