Fall Equinox Celebration at Cesar Chavez Solar Calendar

6:15 to 7:15
Sunset at 7 p.m.

Event information

Mini-workshop on the “Reason for the Seasons”
Bring your questions about the workings of sun, moon and earth.
Cesar Chavez & The Seasons
What does Autumn mean to you/to a traditional culture?

Gathering led by:
Led by Rabbi David Cooper
Kahilla Community Synagogue

Dress for all weather conditions – Weather is part of the experience

Note:
Unfortunately, a person suffered a serious dog bite at the last gathering. We know that dog walkers are some of our biggest supporters. Most guardians keep dogs on-leash during the gathering. It makes for a more orderly and enjoyable experience for all in attendance. This is particularly important when there are a lot of people, dogs and excitement in the center circle.

Those of you who have been there in the past know that we regularly review four virtues of Cesar Chavez which are metaphorically associated with the four cardinal directions. Tolerance is one of those virtues. And it is a good one to be reminded of as we learn to be with one another harmoniously in a special space and moment.

If you review the map of the park you will see that the solar calendar is in the on-leash part of the park.
