2nd Annual Earth Day Circle at the St. Croix River

Join the 2nd Annual Earth Day Circle at the St. Croix River, a peaceful and reflective gathering honoring our relationship with the Earth. Set along the shoreline at Lakeside Park near the Beach House, this 30-minute circle invites participants to acknowledge both the harm we have caused and our shared capacity to reconnect, restore, and heal.

Through a blend of words and music from diverse traditions, the gathering will include Indigenous-led smudging with sage to the four directions, offering a moment of grounding and intention. Following the circle, participants are invited to stay and enjoy blessings of animals (all species welcome) and gentle Tai Chi, creating space for continued connection with one another and the natural world.

Hosted by St. Croix United Church, this event is open to all who wish to pause, reflect, and honor Earth Day in community.
