New Moon Potluck and Pooja: Abundance and Gratitude

Please join us at the Arc community house tomorrow evening as we invoke the vibrations of abundance and unity. We'll begin in the Celtic tradition of Imbolc, as we invite the new light of the coming spring, the flourishing growth of love-inspired projects, and honor the cycle of rebirth on this new moon. Then we'll have a Hindu-inspired puja, laying out a feast dedicated to Ganesh and Laxmi.

Thank You

We appreciate everyone who's working their magick in manifesting some things so we can continue full speed ahead.

For Spiritual practice and space, we request:
* Tapestries/Art
* Candles
* Symbolic icons/Sacred items

For Art projects and for the soon-to-be Art and Craft Room:
* Paint (any kind, color)
* Wood (scrap, recycled furniture, etc.)
* Old books and magazines

For Media projects:
* Computer Printer/Scanner/Copier
* Paper
* Notebooks
* Pens (We're good on Sharpies for now)

For the Garden:
* Organic seeds (herbs, vegetables)
* Rocks for fire pit
* Tools (shovels, hoes, etc.)

The Arc is a collective of mystic visionaries who recognize idealism as the new realism, who, in putting forth their humble intentions to create a peaceful world, realize that love needs to be practiced radically now more than ever. As a collective, we're committed to learning and growing together in the pursuit of transcendent wholeness. As a public house, the Arc is a place where all of us, on our individual quests to establish a harmonious and sustainable world, can connect with each other and provide space and services to our beloved Portland neighbors.

In the name of healing, The Arc: Shelter from the Rising Waters, offers food as medicine (with the guidance of Antares, our Apothecary and Ayurvedic chef), meditation space and sacred ceremonies, collaborative art space, music, space for classes and other forms of healing (including massage, yoga, and energy healing) and hostel space for our weary travelers.

We love you, friends, and we're very grateful that we can offer our home to you.
