Gather Your Thoughts​ ​for
​Ancestor Feast!
​This popular event is entering its fifth cycle.  Each year we explore different themes and grow our thinking about relationship with ancestry.  If you'd like to go a little deeper, we invite you to check out this article, which explores the idea of redemption as it relates to our ancestors.
Dinner is in the Common House dining room.  Weather permitting, we'll enjoy our campfire at an outdoor fire circle overlooking Sunward's prairie.  If the weather doesn't permit, we'll share stories around a "campfire" of candles inside the Common House.
Here's what you can bring
  • Yourself (if that's all that works on this day, it's enough!)
  • Family members or a friend
If possible, you could also bring
  • A photo of someone you love or admire who's passed away - we'll have a table set up for sharing these photos
  • A dish to share - maybe something your deceased loved one really liked
  • A good story about your loved or admired person or animal
This event is still free, but this year we'll be offering small items for sale (on a sliding scale) as a part of our Fall Fundraiser.  

​Cleanup help from anyone who can pitch in will be most appreciated, but is not expected, as many folks will have kids to put to bed, and possibly other commitments as well - come for as much of this event as you can!
