Dear friends, we could use some help with the woods!  We are planning a volunteer day for July 8th, which is the next date for our monthly gathering Celebrating Life.  We are suggesting activities which would be holistic in nature, healthy for the body, mind, and spirit.
Volunteer options include the following: shepherding, tree-herding, preparing firewood, and preparing for the gathering itself.
Shepherding would occur in the morning and would involve hand-feeding the sheep and bringing them water.  Preparing firewood would also occur in the morning and would involve chopping wood.  Tree-herding would involve inspecting our tree friends for vines that would injure or kill them.  Preparing for the gathering includes food prep and toting things to our campsite by the river.
We would suggest an arrival time of no later than 10 a.m. if you want to help with sheep / firewood.  Arrival time of no later than 1 p.m. if you would like to help out with gathering prep / tree-herding.
We are always grateful for everyone who attends and would be grateful for this help.  Please contact Thomas if you are available to help out!

Thomas Yun, M.D., will lead a workshop on collective dream work, based on instruction from the Institute of Dream Studies and the teachings of Jeremy Taylor.  This will occur on Saturday, January 21, 2023 @ 5 p.m., @ UUCG, 12 Bethesda Church Road, Lawrenceville, GA 30044.  GPS coordinates 33.906547, -84.081652
 Group dream work differs greatly from the individual dream work that most people are familiar with; the group process can help bring out a richer understanding of a dream.
