Easter Celebration
Robin Tirrell, Facilitator
Join us for an enlightening celebration of the Easter Resurrection, how we might learn and apply it to the
challenges we experience in our lives today. We will look at how the spring equinox energies tie in to this also.
We will be passing out Red Eggs and hearing about their significance, which has become an annual tradition
at Merging Hearts.
Fire up your Soul
Sandy Willmore, Facilitator
Think of nature as interactive. Through nature, you can hold direct conversations with the Sacred. Together,
we will identify and name our purpose. We will discuss how the natural world provides constant dialog and
feedback. As a group, we will go outside and create a fire the old way—using friction—creating the light and
energy needed to ignite our purpose into Vision. Dress for the weather as we will go outside.
