This year the world & our planet have entered a strange bardo, a nebulous state between past and future. We can’t go back and the path ahead is unnerving and uncertain. But visions of a world of greater cooperation and compassion, creativity and courage, justice and joy — a world that works for all — are germinating like seeds resting beneath the winter snow, waiting for spring.
Register now, space may be limited. Donations of like-new winter clothing for Warm Springs are also welcome at the door! Bowing to what’s gone, we’ll turn toward the winter with our hearts strong — full of warmth, community, and care.
