Annual Labor Day Work Retreat

Saturday, September 6, 2015
10 am - 4 pm
Rolling Ridge Study Retreat

Still just as much fun and same community-building joyful work. Same laughter, delicious food, good companions ... now on Saturday, not Monday.

Every opportunity to renew friendships, share labors, break bread together, and nurture this land and all its beings is a precious gift. We invite you to join us at Rolling Ridge for a gathering of our community to work and play and socialize. What a delight to spend a day of furthering the common good in the midst of beloved company on this sacred ground!

Munchies and juice and coffee will be at the Retreat House by 9:30. Please bring work gloves and a hat and something to share for a potluck lunch. We will have wood ready to split, a garden ready for tending, and a Retreat House to clean.

Invite your friends. The more the merrier. The Retreat House is available for free to those who would like to spend the night!

Every person hour worked counts for your Partner Group or membership commitment! RSVP to lindsay.rollingridge@gmail.com.

Quote of the Day

The rock vibrates, the air is riven
Like ripe fruit splayed on a summer's day
The bird's song is used to call a mate,
Warn of danger, find a nest...
If you listen you will hear our
Universal music on the street, in the air.
It is not the splitting of reeds,
The thrumming of strings,
The thrusting of air, or tambour of skins.
It is the passion and yearning to fully
become that which we already are.
To reach out and express...
to become connected and more whole.
Erase the din of noise and hear the music.
It is all around.

~ by James P. Behony
