Sustainer Community Day – Canceled

Saturday, August 17th — afternoon

Light on the Hill

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,

There is a field. I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,

The world is too full to talk about.

Ideas, language, even the phrase ‘each other’

Doesn’t make any sense.

~ Rumi

In appreciation of Light on the Hill Sustainers, we are gathering for our first Sustainer Community Day on Saturday afternoon, August 17th. The program begins at 3:00 pm and ends with one of Light on the Hill’s delicious, gourmet, vegetarian dinners. Come early to walk the trails, visit the waterfall or the labyrinth, or spend some quiet time in Stillpoint Sanctuary. Dinner will be served at 5:30, and you may linger afterwards to enjoy the sunset.

Our time together will include conversation, meditation, and sharing a meal together. We will meet in the Great Room in Inner Light Lodge at 3:00 pm (“…I’ll meet you there”). Together, we’ll share our thoughts about what it means to find a place of refuge—peace, home, safety, comfort—in the midst of a world in crisis (“…out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing”). How can we as individuals and as part of community be a refuge for others? How do we find our center in the whirlwind of life?

We will have the opportunity to go “beyond ideas” and words to deepen our experience of refuge through an exercise. Afterwards, we will join in meditation to connect with Divine spirit, our source of refuge and strength.

Noon – 3 pm Walk the trails, enjoy the land, rest quietly in Stillpoint
