Community Events 

As we grow into this beautiful space, some wonderful outdoor (and indoor) activities are planned by and for this generous community. Some events are planned by partners and others are simply an invitation to show up at the barn, in the sanctuary, or quietly walking the pathways. All events are open to the public; please note where registration is required. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you into this dedicated-to-nature-community.

Friday September 18

Bluestem Burial Crew Training
Serving on a burial crew is a significant role volunteers play to support families through the meaningful farewell of natural burial at Bluestem. Interested in joining a crew? Join us for a burial crew training session, where Bluestem staff and seasoned volunteers will share more about the role and the experience. Before signing up, please read the Burial Crew Volunteer position description closely. Find more information and register here.

Quiet Hour at Bluestem
Every Friday at noon
We hold the Friday noon hour as an intentional slowing down moment, whether together or on our own. Park in the parking area and walk to the Woodland Sanctuary, just west of the Barn. Benches overlooking the pond await you. Feel welcome to bring a friend, or just yourself. Read a poem, listen to the quiet, or if you prefer more movement, pathways and shaded areas around the property beckon for walking or sitting meditations. Find a smaller private reflection area tucked off the Black Trail heading to the pond. Email us for more information.
