Spring Equinox 2026 Ceremony and Celebration
Take my hand. We will walk. We will only walk… Walk peacefully. Our walk is a peace walk. Our walk is a happiness walk. — Thich Nhat Hanh
At twilight on the day of the Spring Equinox, we come together for a walking meditation inspired by the Buddhist monks who walked to Washington, DC — a walk for peace. We will walk, step by step, over the stone bridge, through the woods, by the labyrinth, and by the pond. Aware of the deep faithfulness of the living world, we will practice peaceful presence in the face of the turmoil and upheaval all around us. Balance light and dark, grief and gratitude, suffering and peace.
In heartbreaking times like these, it is so important that we do this.
Here’s a general flow. Come for all or part. NOTE: Text in bold (other than times) in the schedule represent changes from the original announcement.
