Connecting with Starcross
Friday Reflections
Our Starcross family reaches around the globe! One way that we stay connected to our friends near and far is with our Publication Committee's Friday Reflections.
We invite you to subscribe to our e-list to receive a weekly reflection, in which intergenerational writers contemplate our world, culture, climate, and communities.
Weekly Walk Around Starcross
Each week, Sister Julie invites you to join her for a digital "walk" through our grounds, forest, garden, and farm! We feel grateful to be surrounded by natural splendor that changes with the seasons.
The Weekly Walk began as a COVID project but has now become a Starcross staple. We hope that this email lifts your spirits, as it does for those of us here!
Monday Haiku
Every Monday, we send out a haiku written by friends and members of Starcross. We hope that the image and poetry sets the tone for your week!
A Place to Grow
We welcome visitors on many different paths. Whether you are interested in spiritual contemplation, organic agriculture, ecological outreach, or social justice issues, Starcross seeks to provide an opportunity for learning and growth.
