Springtime is a celebration of new growth.

May Day comes with freshness and freedom! We sing our way through this season with joy and gladness! We dance and sing around the maypole and braid the ribbon with laughter and music.

We will celebrate at Highbanks Metro Park so that there is room for everyone to celebrate together.

Everyone wears white, children wear their handmade crowns.

We close with a delicious potluck lunch, strawberries, and lemonade!

More information will be shared as the event draws nearer!

December brings us many reasons to celebrate, among them the Spiral Garden.

A spiral path made of evergreen boughs with a candle set on a stump in the center and golden stars along the pathway. We are all on a journey to bring our gifts and our inner light into our community to share with others.

We enter the garden to soft music from the lyre. After soft singing, the light in the center is lit, then one by one the older children are given an apple with a candle to walk to the center of the spiral and light their candle, then set it on a gold star on the return path from the center. After all have set their candles on the path, the room has brightened with a light from each of us.

As we journey through our lives, we touch many with our lights and warm many with our hearts.

Silence follows… all leave quietly to go home for gentle reflection.

The Spiral Walk is a beautiful festival that symbolizes gathering our inner light and strength. The mood is one of peace, quiet, beauty and reverence. It feels very potent this year!

I go outside with my lantern

My lantern goes with me

Outside the stars are shining

Down here on earth shine we

So shine my light in the still dark night

We look forward to our families joining us promptly at 6pm.

We begin our school year as the heat of the summer begins to wane and the warmth of the sun has ripened the harvest for us to reap. 

We celebrate the abundance of food and prepare some for storage through the winter days ahead. 

We prepare for a Harvest Festival in the autumn that becomes a ‘festival of doing’.  There may be apple and marigold garland making, a fire pit with roasted corn, apple cider pressing, fiddle music and lots of singing and dancing.  There is hearty vegetable soup and harvest bread for all. 

We close the festival with songs around the fire and go off to home with our treasures we have made and gratefulness in our hearts.

All are welcome - Family, Friends and Neighbors!

Let us celebrate the cooler nights, rich harvest and community spirit.

After much thought and consideration, we will be having our Spiral Walk outside in our garden space. Families will be invited in short increments/time slots in order to prevent large crowds. As we get closer to the date, your family will be given a time slot.

We look forward to our families joining us promptly at 5:30 pm.

Your family is invited to come to the park for our Harvest Festival Walk. Families will stroll around the paved trail at Sharon Meadows Park and enjoy stories, songs and gifts from the Teachers. 
Please arrive between 4pm and 5:45. Expect to walk around the Harvest Trail for about 20 minutes.  We will pace the family groups so that everyone has the ability to be distanced.

Please do not allow children to gather in the parking lot or on the playground before or after. 

We will also have extra Bolga Baskets for sale and a LARGE selection of outdoor gear, free for anyone who finds something they need.
