Turning of the Year is a time to reflect on the year that has gone by and to contemplate the year that is coming. We gather promptly on Saturday, Dec. 31, at 10 a.m.at the First Unitarian Universalist Society, 608 Whitney Ave., drop off food, and walk to one of New Haven’s traditional sacred sites. There we will take time to experience the spirit of the land and assess the times. We return to the FUUS for a potluck lunch at noon. This will be a relatively short walk. People can also just join us for the end of the year luncheon.
On Monday, January 9, there will be a Full Moon Walk at Sandy Point, West Haven. At 5 :30 p.m. we meet at 608 Whitney Avenue, for a carpool ride to Sandy Point. Or meet us at 6 p.m. in Captain’s Galley parking lot, 19 Beach Street, West Haven.
There will be a potluck at 6 p.m. and the movie, “Ciclovida: Lifecycle,” at 7 p.m., followed by a Seed Exchange on Saturday, January 14 at 608 Whitney Avenue. Bring seeds you have saved. “Ciclovida” follows a group of subsistence farmers as they traverse the South American continent by bicycle on a mission to rescue natural seeds. The travelers document how agrofuels are taking over the countryside and displacing millions of small farmers ad indigenous communities.
