The Magic of Camp

Join us for a fun-filled service reminding us of the joys of camp and all the ways that it can renew our spirits, create community, ground us and give us the chance to play. After service we’ll be social, engage in various camp-themed activities and snacks and learn more about our cluster camp at DeBenneville Pines. Bring a camp chair and sack lunch.

The Secret to a Long Life

We have an abundance of time, if we are intentional about how we spend it. Let’s explore how to ensure our lives are filled with meaningful moments, and avoid wasting one of our most precious resources: time.

How To Be A Good Ancestor

It may seem odd to think of yourself as an ancestor when you are still alive—until you stop to think that all of our ancestors were once the same as us—children of Mother Earth, raised with the values and expectations of their village and their ancestors. How do we honor them while acknowledging their missteps? Is there ancient wisdom that we have neglected? One thing is certain. We are planting (or cutting down) trees whose fruit we may never taste. Yet being part of the whole web of existence, how we respond will ripple like stones in the water, now and on and on and on.

Today she shares the spiritual and life lessons she learned from dancing tango. You might be surprised by what this dance can teach us all about connection, delight, community, and the journey within.
