Location: Homestead Farms, Poolesville, Maryland
Sponsored by Barbara

This is a Friends and Members event. Please RSVP to Barbara at lavendarcrone (at) yahoo (dot) com.

I was at the orchard on Sunday and was told that there would still be apples and pumpkins to pick, late in October. I went a little funny in the head and wound up picking almost 30 lbs of apples. They’re so good!

Besides pick your own, the farm stand has already picked apples, pumpkins, cider, jams, etc. and there is food to buy. They also sell the best damned caramel apples I’ve ever had! The hayride to the pumpkin fields is $3/person.

Bring a picnic lunch (with some to share) as there are picnic tables at the orchard.

If you want to carpool, we will leave Barbara’s house at 10:30am. It is about a 30 to 45-minute drive to Homestead Farm. Or you can meet us there. Just let Barbara know!

Becoming’s monthly Circle of Connection is our core tradition. It is here that we come together to build and strengthen our connections with the world around us, each other, and the Divine. The road to membership in Becoming begins and ends with the monthly Circle of Connection.

The circle provides a safe space to temporarily step outside of the hectic pace of our daily lives to re-affirm our relationships with the divine that infuses everything that is. It is a time of thanksgiving and healing with caring and fun people.

The monthly Circle is held on the second Sunday of the month from 12:00pm to 1:30pm, with lunch following. We usually hold a classes or discussion on a variety of topics afterward from 2:30pm to 3:30pm.
