Ritual Celebrates Spring Equinox

In the Northern Hemisphere, we are approaching the time when we sense that Spring is just around the corner. Join a community of friends to celebrate the Spring Equinox, to welcome Spring, and to say goodbye to Winter.

Weber Retreat and Conference Center hosts a celebration of the Spring Equinox from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, March 20, 2022. We gather to celebrate Mother Earth and to grow our courage and commitment to all beings who call Earth home. If you have a poem, a song, a gift for our sacred space, or a funny story, bring it with you. 

The in-person gathering is free and no registration is required. For more information, contact Weber Center at 517-266-4000.
