All Saints Day Gathering - Nov 1

Most of us have had people in our lives who had what could be called a sacred influence on us and have now passed on. They may have been friends, relatives, teachers, or even the saints of old. At this gathering, we'll spend time remembering those folks and honoring their impact on our lives. We'll do that through artmaking, reflection, and storytelling in an experience designed to prepare us to journey through the darker season ahead with the light of those who came before us. Click below for more details and registration.

Join us on this day to remember & honor through artmaking, reflection, and storytelling those who have had a sacred influence in your life.

Our last Forest Church of the year is happening this month in Morrison! We've had four glorious gatherings at near Golden Gate Canyon State Park, and now we're bringing it down a couple thousand feet in elevation to capture some warmer temps and still be among the trees.

These monthly, outdoor gatherings are open to all ages and include a shared liturgy, contemplative time alone in the forest, creative activity stations, reflection & meditation on the labyrinth, and more.

Our gathering is a collaboration of the refuge and Transforming Creatives and is free and open to all. Get details and register here: https://forms.gle/a7f5nLbf9BejKxCF7
