Saint John’s Day Festival
We gathered in June to celebrate Saint John’s Day and the summer solstice. We blessed the community garden in the afternoon and retired to one of the fields in the Village for a picnic and bonfire!

Whitsun
How nice to celebrate Whitsun together again! Known to many as Pentecost, the Village celebrates Whitsuntide each year. We enjoyed several showings of the Village Parzival play performed by members of the Future Seeds group, and wrapped up our celebration with a multicultural potluck next to Fountain Hall Pond, with representatives from the Village reading a Bible verse in 12 different languages!
