Every spring, the Potomac River brings fresh water from the mountains to our region to rinvigorate the land for the coming growing season. Join Becoming at Great Falls, a place of raw power where the waters tumble forth in exuberance. We will bless this influx of nurturing water; offer our songs, poems, and praise; and speak out our intentions for growth in the coming year.

Bring a song or poem for the praise offering, an intent for this year’s personal growth, sturdy shoes, and weather-appropriate clothes.

We will have a potluck picnic lunch after the ritual. Please bring a dish to share and your own utensils.

If you need a ride from the metro or would like to carpool, please let Angela know when you RSVP.

Dark of Winter has been canceled due to blizzard and snow!

In this time when the solar and lunar energies are dark, we gather to silently witness the turning point of increasing light and the new year. We will gather at sunset and journey to silence and quiet to take stock of the year that has been and what we are putting to rest for the winter.

There will be a potluck, post ritual. Please feel free to bring a dish.

Note: this will be a primarily silent ritual. When you arrive please plan to enter in quiet.
