Beauty

Reason #2 you want to join us at the Gathering (Saturday, October 9th from 12-5pm)… BEAUTY. With the conflict and division going on in our current world, it soothes the soul to create something beautiful. Together we will bring different elements to co-create Rain’s Garden. This garden is a special place for community, quiet reflection, outdoor yoga and meditation.

Through your generous donations and those of Lorraine’s family, we had enough funds to smooth and condition the soil, lay sod, create flower beds for planting, purchase and install two porch swings and two concrete tables and benches. Now for the fun part, each of you can bring a plant, flower, tree, or mulch from our wish list. (Wish list is on a google doc you can email Liz to receive, or stop by the studio to choose a butterfly with a wish list item from the chalkboard wall.) Then we gather together in connection to create beauty! Bring your gardening gloves, shovels and mulching shoes. We will work side by side (at least 6 feet apart) to dig in the dirt and add color and life to our newly created outdoor space!

Building something out of nothing is one of my favorite things to do. It lets me feel like I am doing something good for the world even if it’s just a tiny speck of something. So, let’s work together to create some beauty to soothe the aching hearts and souls, to bring a little light and life to our corner of the world. Then each time you are here, you can know you co-created and we built something beautiful together.

We cannot wait to see you in real life on Saturday, October 9th at the Gathering, a celebration of our community and 16 years together.
