“Under the tree”

EAT    PRAY    LOVE    PROTEST   PLANT   DONATE

No gathering in September, but it’s a great time to come out for a swim.

The first Sunday of each month at 9:30 am, under the yew tree in the yard of the church at 800 Timboon Road, Gleniffer (map).

We hold the forests dear to our hearts and provide a place of rejuvenation for those who seek ways to protect them.

We gather for simple rituals, reflection and sharing, and are happy for people of good will to join us. 

All people who are willing to make others welcome, are welcome. Other-than-human people are welcome if they respect everyone’s boundaries, and someone cleans up after them if need be 🙂 

Connect with the God who is Mother, Father, Spirit, Encourager, Wisdom. The One River feeding many wells, the Elephant.

God of the rainbow and all the rainbow people, here in communion with the Gumbaynggirr people long before Jesus, or even Abraham, walked the Earth.

Accessibilities and Practicalities

We meet ourdoors on fairly flat but not completely even lawn. 

If it rains enough we will meet indoors, which is not wheelchair accessible, and has three stairs with a handrail.  Inside are traditional wooden pews.

We probably have enough chairs, byo chair or rug if you feel like it. 

Children are very welcome to participate in the gathering amongst the adults. 

The fence to the river (20m away) is not child-proof.  We ask all adults to help keep kids within bounds as we gather, though ultimately at this stage it is up to parents to supervise children.  There is a low wooden fence making it difficult for children to run onto the usually very quiet road.

We have access to a toilet with a ramp, about 100m away, across a lawn. 

There is beautiful swimming close by if you want to bring bathers for a swim before or after our official gathering.  

People can wear whatever makes them feel comfortable, humans please wear something!

Supported by the Forest Advocacy Ministry, and the hospitality of the Gleniffer Community Church.
