Seasonal Open Houses:
In March, June and September to honor the changing of the seasons, the ToLS opens its doors to the public to drop in and visit with us. There is no fee for these open houses, but we deeply appreciate donations as a 501(c)3 tax exempt spiritual organization.
We offer light refreshments and encourage visitors to explore our library and ask
questions of Laura and ToLS Colleagues. In March we hold a special activity called “Creation of the Blossoming Vision Bough”. It is a co-creation made each year by the ToLS Colleagues at the Spring Equinox. Each Colleague attaches an item to the blossoming tree bough that represents their Vision for the New Year. Throughout the year, at our noon meditation, we all send energy to it to strengthen the manifestation of every Colleague’s vision. At the Winter
Solstice, it is burned to release the energy back to the Source.
