Council of Earthly Creatures and Kin

Humans awakening to their place in the web of life

Led by facilitators from The Work that Reconnects

June 22, 5:15–6:30 PM
(Arrive no later than 5:15)

Join us with your “creature” mask, hat, or costume for a colorful, sometimes solemn, participatory circle of listening and sharing.

Stepping beyond our human identities, we embody and speak on behalf of other living beings, awakening our interconnectedness and revealing the grief and wisdom carried by all earthly creatures and kin during this time of planetary change.

Bring water, a chair or blanket, sun protection, and of course your creature.

All ages welcome*.

*Often expressions of pain and loss are shared in these Councils. Please consider what is appropriate for yourself and young ones attending.
