TS-MD: Sunday, 6/29/2025- Peace Vigil, 1-4 pm (please note extended hours)

With a new, frightening headline every day, we think it would be good to have a space to sit and pray and meditate in silence. Our lodge has multiple rooms with enough space for those who want to sit and pray and meditate, or draw, or pen a poem or an essay on peace, and when people need a break, there is enough space to join together and chat.

All are welcome, if you are new to our place, or have been with us before.

We wish everyone well in these times.

TS-MD: More info on "A Debunking We Will Go", 6/15, 1-3pm

This flyer shows some of what Kimberly Sheridan will be revealing the secrets to - Mary Todd and Lincoln's Spirit, the Solway Firth Spaceman, Oumuamua, the Man from Taured, and not shown - the Loch Ness Monster. Join us investigating the paranormal. Open to all!

As Kimberly wrote, "It is important when it comes to paranormal investigation, that we are not so gullible as to believe anything slightly offbeat as supranational. Debunking separates the chaff from the wheat. What remains will still stand as compelling evidence."

TS-MD: June 15th, 1-3pm-"A Debunking We Will Go", Kimberly Sheridan Presentation

Kimberly Sheridan is going to present a topic called "A Debunking We Will Go," a slightly cheeky and lighthearted look at some still famous examples of what seem like paranormal events. With the rise of better technology and dedicated social media detectives, like Reddit, some of these events have had reasonable explanations revealed. It is important, when it comes to paranormal investigation, that we are not so gullible as to believe anything slightly offbeat as supranational. Debunking separates the chaff from the wheat. What remains will still stand as compelling evidence. As Sherlock Holmes says" When you have gotten rid of the impossible, the result, however improbable, must be true."

TS-MD: Reminder - "The Secret Life of Plants"- Open Discussion, Sunday 4/13, 1-3 pm

Come one, Come All! to our Roundtable Discussion. We'll start off with the controversial ideas of Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, in their 1973 book of the same name, and go from there. A later edition's subtitle was "A Fascinating Account of the Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Relations Between Plants and Man". Stevie Wonder wrote the soundtrack for a 1979 documentary, released as "Journey through the Secret Life of Plants."

All are welcome to our discussion! We'll start with a brief synopsis of Chapter I of "The Secret Life of Plants" or, maybe an excerpt from the documentary by that name. Then, we will open it up to a discussion about plants. How they touch us? Do you talk to yours? Play music for them? Pray or meditate with them? Do they move you to poetry? Art? Photography?
