Community Day - The Stone Circle: Lughnasadh

This month, join us for a special edition of Community Day facilitated by Eyal Amiel in honor of Lughnasadh. RSVP is requested. All are welcome!

Community Day is our day to come together and collaborate on a work project here at Rootstock. Many hands have built this amazing temple and many hands are needed to tend and steward it and, together, we’ll work on a project.

Lughnasadh is the traditional “first harvest” festival, celebrating the early bounty of our gardens, and the land, and the abundance of the growing season. We honor the Earth for her many gifts and offer deep gratitude for the richness of our lives and our relationship with the land. In this ceremony, the theme of gratitude will be central, through song, prayer, and celebration. We invite you to bring a small offering from your garden (or local land) to offer back to the Earth in gratitude, and a potluck dish, featuring home or locally -grown produce to share in community after the ceremony.

• Plan to arrive between 9:50-10am so we can introduce ourselves and orient to our project for the day. Children are welcome and no skills or tools are necessary to participate! Folks of all ages and abilities

• Offerings of tea, chocolate, or beeswax candles for the Community Cabin are welcome and appreciated but not required and any snacks or finger food that you want to enjoy or share. Please do not bring food that requires heating, cooking, or utensils.

• Bring a water bottle and dress for the elements! Community Day happens rain or shine, snow or sleet. We recommend work gloves and some warm, dry layers if the temps are cold.

• All people are welcome! Leave your doggies at home! The cats of Rootstock appreciate our dog-free campus so thank you for bringing your friends and your kids and leaving your four legged at home.
