Mark your calendar now for the Summer Solstice Festival 2022, hosted by Penn Forest and Spiritworks. Plan to enjoy the sun that shines on each being on planet earth. Join with people of centuries past in this midsummer celebration. They understood that Solstice' (Latin: 'solstitium') means 'sun-stopping', because it is the point where the sun appears to rise and set --and stops and reverses direction after this day. It is the longest day of the year.
The Remembrance Ceremony sponsored by VITAS Healthcare begins promptly at 3:00 pm honoring those who have died due to COVID-19 and other causes. We will unite in meaningful rituals and live music provided by the musical group Eucalyptus. Come write and fly a white flag of remembrance in honor of your loved ones and those we’ve lost to COVID-19.
