Vigils are devotional times for engaging with our sorrows, worries and losses. They
tend the hard parts of our personal and collective grief through the soft expression of
intentional space, guiding invocations, imaginal activities and tender closings. This is
your invitation to pause and attend to the parts of your broken and aching heart, bear
witness to your outrage and generate a frequency of grace and healing for yourself
and the ailing world.
As the summer solstice arrives in the Northern Hemisphere, we anticipate its gifts of longer days and warming temperatures. This seasonal event also marks the time that we gather for our quarterly Vigil, a time for planting new seeds in the ground of our awareness. A time to pause, reflect and expand our capacities for allowing our grief to be held in community. We invite you to find refuge with us.
Come sit around our virtual fire. Come to listen deeply, to be seen and listened to if you choose to speak, to draw nourishment from practices that have steadied and softened the human heart since the beginning of time.
We hope you will join us in this space of quiet wisdom and care.
Your companions and facilitators,
Woods Winfree and Julie Freed
