August 5-7:
HAIKU and HOUSEPAINTING
Mark your calendar to join us at Starcross for
a unique weekend. We will attempt to combine
spiritual nourishment with manual labor as we
simultaneously learn the art of haiku and paint
a one hundred year old Victorian farmhouse.
Come for all or any part of the weekend.
Tentative schedule is:
Friday afternoon prep work,
Friday evening a brief orientation on
Starcross and “Haiku 101”.
Saturday we paint the house. In the late
afternoon we will break for swimming, an
update on our African programs for AIDS
orphans and Vespers. After dark we plan a
night haiku walk.
Sunday morning we hope to finish the work.
There will be an ecumenical meditative
gathering, followed by lunch in the barn. Those
who can, are welcome to stay the afternoon for
clean up and swimming.
This should be a fun, high-energy event. Bring
friends and family. We’ll cook together and
camp out with sleeping bags.
Please contact Sister Julie
(sj@starcross.org) for more information and
to sign up.
The olive trees grow, and so do we . . .
