Standing together at Sinai: An All Night Journey of Exploration and Discovery

We will gather together to open ourselves to exploration and revelation through song, prayer, meditation, movement and opportunities to be with the earth.

·      Come for all of the evening or part of the evening.

·      If you are able, please bring light vegetarian food or drink to share as we journey through the night together.

·      We will begin and end our celebration outside—wear comfortable clothes and layers for warmth
