The Greenlake Grove welcomes you to the monthly Peace Meditation--online. Dial in from anywhere in the world. All people of good intent are welcome regardless of experience or affiliation. Please join us online for a time of simple chanting and stillness. Bring your intentions.

Druid Prayer for Peace: Deep within the still center of my being, may I find peace. Silently within the quiet of the Grove, may I share peace. Powerfully, within the greater circle of humankind, may I radiate peace. May there be Peace throughout the whole world. 

As is consistent with the OBOD tradition, we gather for a Peace Meditation on or around the last Saturday of the month--for this 30 minute meditation. Nicole hosts and Ruth assists. We hope to see you there!

Join Online via GoToMeeting: Peace Meditation. It's easy to join meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

Please join the Greenlake Grove outside at the north end of Greenlake to celebrate the rite of Alban Elfed. All those of good intention are welcome, regardless of experience or affiliation. 


From the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids:

“The Wheel turns and the time of balance returns. Alban Elfed marks the balance of day and night before the darkness overtakes the light. It is also the time of the second harvest, usually of the fruit which has stayed on the trees and plants that have ripened under the summer sun. It is this final harvest which can take the central theme of the Alban Elfed ceremony – thanking the Earth, in her full abundance as Mother and Giver, for the great harvest, as Autumn begins.”

LOCATION IS AT NORTH END OF GREENLAKE (between tennis courts and wading pool): 
* Near Stone Avenue North & West Green Lake Drive North. 
* South of the parking lot. 
* East of the tennis courts (on the other side of the Greenlake Trail). 
* Find the west side of the parking lot, and then walk south--and then left--up the small hill into the oak grove. 

Please feel free to bring something to share on the altar, and a poem or song. We are looking forward to celebrating with you!
