Embrace the Rhythm of Nature
Sacred Sundays are special times to gather, celebrate, and connect with the natural world. These gatherings are opportunities to pause, reflect, and immerse ourselves in the beauty that surrounds us.

Outdoor Gatherings for All Seasons
All Sacred Sundays take place outdoors, in harmony with nature. Dress for comfort and engagement with the environment. Remember, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just the chance to find the right outfit for the day’s adventure!

Looking Forward
