Dear Friends,

I warmly invite you to join us for our upcoming community purification lodge on Sunday, November 1, 2026. This gathering will be held in the spirit of our theme: “The Fall Harvest - A Time for Gathering & Reflection." As we move more fully into this quieter fall season, this lodge offers us a chance to come together, reconnect, and honor the gifts of the year.  We will look at our yearly cycle, consider what each season has to offer us and then consider our harvests of 2026 and what are we desiring to grow and harvest for our year of 2027.

Location:  Holly, MI - Directions to lodge upon RSVP

Arrival times are as follows:

• First-time attendees: 10:00 AM

• Returning attendees: 11:00 AM

• Lodge going-in time: 12:00 PM

Please bring the following items:

• Clothing to wear into the lodge (swimsuit, sarong, shorts/tank top or similar clothing) and easy to remove foot gear

After we close the ceremony, we will share a small light potluck to help ground ourselves for the drive home and enjoy some fellowship with one another. If you feel called to bring a small light shareable snack or other offering, please feel free to do so, but there is no obligation to do this.

May you arrive feeling welcomed, supported, and held in community. We look forward to sharing this sacred time with you.

With warmth and gratitude,
