    Bringing Forth The Gift                                  
 
           A weekend for men and women
               December  11-13, 2015
   Led by Doug von Koss and Richard Naegle
 
Full of singing, poetry, story, ritual, silence, community and love, this weekend is a preparation time for the Solstice season in the quiet and beauty of the redwoods.  Just when our culture is speeding up for the ‘holidays,” our souls long for the “holy days,” to hold true to the heartbeat of nature—the rhythm of stillness, waiting, letting go, anticipation.
         The darkness around us is deep…The potential birth of new light for us, our communities, and our world requires that we sacrifice old ways of being; that we bring forth new gifts worthy of a new year.  What must you let go of?  What must you risk bringing forth?
 
                            “Something has been calling to you
                               For longer than you can remember.
                                   Calling to you to step out into the light, into your life.
                                         It doesn’t matter whether you’re ready or not.”
                                                  Larry Robinson, “Roll Away the Stone”      
 
Come, join with kindred spirits as we share good food and company, sing universal chants and songs in joyous harmony,
celebrate tears and laughter, and explore Soul’s longing in the darkest night. Together, let us once again sing the world into being.
