Every first Sunday of each month at Windgrove is a dedicated Sacred Earth Sunday; a very informal Quaker like gathering of people who have come to honour their committment to seeking Peace within themselves and the world at large. From 8:30AM to 9:30AM is an hour of "respectful silence" where people either gather together to meditate or choose to go off alone. At 9:30 a bell is rung bringing everyone together for breakfast and conversation. The above photo is of a stone received in the mail yesterday from Western Australia and being placed on top of the Ancestral Midden during this morning's Sacred Earth Sunday. The Ancestral Midden is that part of the Windgrove Peace Garden that is dedicated to the "past" and the honouring of one's ancestors, one's own history, one's personal truth. Any visitor to Windgrove is encouraged to bring a stone with them from their home to be placed with all the other individual stories that comprise this growing, global pile of stories.
