Description

Celebrate the beauty of Spring in Santa Cruz, as we rededicate ourselves to the climate, lands and waters we love. This is a multi-faith public celebration, to raise our spirits, raise awareness, and raise the vibration in these troubled times. We will begin by decorating our space: please bring seasonal flowers and foliage, or other natural objects to welcome the beauty of Spring in Santa Cruz. Our celebration will include Land Acknowledgement, Calling the Corners and songs. We will offer other activities that may include meditation, plus poems, chants, and other songs or prayers brought by participants.All are welcome! If you are driving, please ARRIVE EARLY to find parking and get settled in. We will gather on the lawn near the Lighthouse — look for the Novasutras signs. We will have some signs available for you to use, if desired. Help us brainstorm sign ideas, or create one of your own! Your registration includes a subscription to the Novasutras Newsletter (eight times per year) and Novasutras Santa Cruz emails, plus occasional emails about Novasutras events. Our events are offered in the gift economy – donation is not expected, but always welcome! You can help us most by offering monthly support via Patreon. Alternatively, please consider making a one-time donation via PayPal or in person at the event. About Your Host Michelle Merrill, Ph.D, founded Novasutras as an exploration of how we can connect with, learn from, and teach each other to co-create a more regenerative, resilient culture. She is an Insight Timer meditation instructor, a climate activist, a community organizer, a workshop facilitator, and a public speaker with a background in anthropology, ecology and evolutionary biology.
