Our Summer Solstice Potluck and Ritual, June 19, will focus on the symbolic ending of the Sun's reign as it begins to wane once again and also on sending healing energy to the Waters and Creatures of the Gulf.
Please join us for potluck at 7:00 pm, followed by ritual on the grounds next to the Jefferson Bldg. (after it is a tad cooler out!)
Bring food to share at the potluck and a lawn chair or something to sit on.
