Thanksgiving Address: Greetings to the Natural World 11/17/24

November 17 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Look for us at Grand Rapids Montessori Public School this month in the heart of the city. Bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on.
These monthly gatherings aim to experience a way of acknowledging the Natural World, greeting all living things, and showing gratitude. The Haudenosaunee People encourage this practice to be shared widely. John Stokes, wrote the booklet we use during the gathering in order that we “share in these words, that our concentrated attention might help us rediscover our balance, respect, and oneness with Nature.”
Monthly meetings are open to everyone of all ages. They are designed for informal and formal educators to experience the Thanksgiving Address in community so they can reflect and consider how they might use this practice with their students, nature center patrons, etc.
This free, outdoor event will be canceled in the event of extreme weather conditions.
