OPENING CEREMONY & HARVEST PROCESSION

We gather in circle to honour the season and its spirit of abundance, gratitude, community and feasting.  Bring a small offering of a vegetable or a fruit (jam, chutney etc are welcome too) as an offering and we will move in procession to place these with gratitude on an altar in the Universal Hall. Aura smudging will take place from 9.45 to 10am and veg offerings will be available for you if you come without.  Follow the drum to the Garden!!
