Happy Spring Equinox:
The weather forecast today is for intermittent rain, expected to clear before 7pm. Dress for the weather: wet and windy. Lower trail along the river expected to be muddy in places and flooded closest to the confluence. I will be there for the salutation of the Equinox, rain or shine. Sunset is expected at 7:34pm and we will have re-gathered on high ground in time to watch the sunset together.

Salutation to the Setting Sun on Spring Equinox
Confluence of the Grand & Speed Rivers,
Cambridge, ON
At the confluence of the Grand and Speed Rivers, one half hour before sunset, I am hosting a 45 minute Sacred Salutation to the Turning of the Earth for Spring Equinox. There is street parking and the meeting place is accessible by hardpack city-park trail.
Wild Church is an International multi-faith movement. We worship the Sacred in the great outdoors. The confluence of the Grand and Speed Rivers is a deeply spiritual place.
We will gather with a Land Acknowledgement and Opening Prayer; with a time for individual wandering and wondering along the confluence of the two rivers. We will re-convene to watch the sunset together. Dress warmly and for the weather.
