From Root to Blossom: Two Guided Meditations for the Spring Equinox
Celebrating the coming of Spring is also celebrating rebirth, and new beginnings. As we come out from the cold Winter season, we look forward to the return of warmth, life, and growth.
Join us at Beacon Hill Friends House for an evening of guided meditation and reflection on growth, our roots, and our connection to Mother Earth.
Rooted in the importance of contemplative practice, this practice is open to people of all or no religious traditions.
To bring: Participants are encouraged to bring a notepad and pen or pencil if they would like to jot down notes during the reflection portion of this event.
Accessibility: Closed captioning provided! Please let us know in the registration if there is anything we can do to make this event more accessible for you.
