Abbey Sabbatical

The Abbey is going to take a sabbatical from the weekly newsletters through August. Look for us back in your in-box in early September.

Please note: If you subscribe to the daily nourishment, you will still receive those Monday-Saturday during this time.

Blessings on the Celtic Feast of Lughnasa! To join us in honoring the rhythms of the Celtic wheel of the year, consider registering for Sacred Seasons which is a yearlong journey including reflections, poems, songs, dance, and more for each of the eight thresholds of the natural cycles. You can work through the materials year after year.
