Earth-Based Spirituality
Drawing from Pagan and Earth-centered traditions, we mark eight sacred festivals throughout the year.
The Wheel of the Year
Agricultural Celebrations
Imbolc (February – awakening of seeds)
Beltane (May – fertility and new life)
Lughnasadh (August – first harvest)
Samhain (October – final harvest, honoring ancestors)
Solar Celebrations
Ostara (Spring Equinox – March)
Litha (Summer Solstice – June)
Mabon (Autumn Equinox – September)
Yule (Winter Solstice – December)
At Cedar Lane, we honor the sacredness of the Earth through seasonal celebrations rooted in Unitarian Universalist values—especially our commitment to the interdependent web of all existence. Earth-based spirituality reminds us that we are not separate from nature, but deeply woven into its rhythms and cycles.
Our rituals are usually held outdoors in the bench circle near the front entrance on Sundays at 9:30 AM, rain or shine. Recent gatherings have been offered in partnership with Quiet Callings, our Sunday morning reflective service.
Come as you are. Bring your love for the Earth and a spirit of curiosity. Join us in honoring the turning seasons, the wisdom of nature, and the sacredness of life.
