Gathering Ground provides community for people to make and share meaning, through observing earth holidays, deep sharing and listening, and growing together in relationship with the world around us.

What do we do? We share tools for participating in activities, then reflect, listen, and share our discoveries. Together we take a journey inward to truth and a journey outward to the world. We are a queer- and neurodivergent-friendly and justice-seeking group of many beliefs. Our shared identity is earth-centered and DIY making of meaning and fun. Our motto is: Do stuff. Reflect. Connect.

During 2026, here’s how to join in: We gather on a Saturday once a month. We meet under a grove of trees and in other outdoor settings, or indoors during the cold wet months, and have options to join by Zoom whenever possible. We host larger public gatherings for Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice, and half-day gatherings for Spring and Autumn Equinox. We also have a once a month weeknight evening Zoom gathering.

This year, we are gathering around a theme of rooting. Rooting is strengthening our connections with what nourishes us. It is connecting with deep wisdoms and sources, traditions and lineages. It is grounding and drawing strength from the earth and elements. It is exploring beneath the surface of ourselves and our world. We tend to our roots so that we’re able to take in the nourishment we need to grow, so we can grow fruit to nourish the world around us.

Join us as we share, read, move, create, rest, and play in community!
