Cancelled: All public events at CedarLight Grove until further notice.

The CedarLight Board of Directors has been following the developments in the pandemic closely. We place top priority on the safety of all who come to or live at CedarLight Center. We are sad to make this announcement but the safety of all, especially those at higher risk must come first.

CedarLight will follow the recommendations of the CDC, state and local governments, and other local churches.

This includes Sunday morning and afternoon events, high day celebrations and other smaller public events. We will be posting ritual scripts online along with other updates and resources. We very much want you all to stay healthy and safe. Our priests, liturgists, and hearthkeepers with continue to make sacrifices at home and we encourage you all to do the same.

May the gods bless and protect us during this time.

Rev Caryn MacLuan, Senior Druid, CedarLight Grove.
