20 Jun: “Meeting for Listening” – NEYM – the spiritual life in our local meetings – full-day, hybrid

Together, we will:

• Dream together
• Identify the resources meetings have to offer each other
• Explore themes in State of Society reports and trends from statistical reports
• Discover what’s possible now

We gather to share with each other–to reflect on where Spirit is alive in our local worshiping communities. These insights and reflections also inform programmatic planning in the year ahead and our Yearly Meeting’s annual priorities.

30 Jun: 9:30 AM – “Friendly Hikes” – Bluff Point Loop Trail – Bluff Point State Park, 55 Depot Rd, Groton, CT

This is the classic loop at Bluff Point. It is a well-maintained, wide gravel carriage with magnificent ocean views along the way. Many optional spur trails take you out to gorgeous ocean overlooks. Trail length 3.6 miles, elevation gain 157 ft and estimated hiking time 1 to 1.5 hours. Bluff Point is the last remaining significant piece of undeveloped land along the Connecticut coastline. This wooded peninsula, measuring one and one-half miles long by one mile wide, encompasses over 800 acres of protected land. Bluff Point was designated a “Coastal Reserve” by a special act of the Connecticut legislature in 1975 to establish the area “for the purpose of preserving its native ecological associations, unique faunal and floral characteristics, geological features and scenic qualities in a condition of undisturbed integrity”.
