Sun Watcher’s Club
The Sun Watchers Club was founded by one of our dedicated Community Organizers, Sophia Erickson. Every morning, long before dawn, Sophia and her faithful golden retriever Buddy are already at the chapel, ready to welcome anyone from the Community or beyond for a quiet walk to the east hill. There, together, they greet the sunrise as it crests the horizon across the lake.

In the open field, participants map the sun’s annual journey using 20-pound stones. Day by day, the point of sunrise shifts slightly along the horizon, tracing a graceful lemniscate (figure-eight) pattern over the course of the year. All are invited to join the walk, take a seat on the benches, and simply marvel at the beauty of the celestial force that sustains life on Earth.

In the late afternoon, near dusk, you’ll find Sophia on the west-facing stage behind the Apothecary, overlooking the sunflower fields. Comfortable benches invite quiet contemplation, and as colder weather arrives, the woodworkers’ solar-powered enclosure provides warmth and shelter. The platform is fully wheelchair-accessible. We observe gentle library rules here—whispers and silence allow everyone to savor the sunset in peace.

Sophia’s destiny seems bound to the stars. She also organizes solar and lunar eclipse viewings at the university planetarium—keep an eye on her seasonal Sun Calendar to reserve a spot, bring your telescope, and carpool with her to these memorable events.

The night before each Summer and Winter Solstice, and the Autumn and Spring Equinox, Sophia offers an hour-long lecture in the Theater or Science Lab I. She weaves together history, scientific explanation, and a thought-provoking question—“What is out there?”—that always sparks lively discussion. Every lecture reveals something new and fascinating about the sky and the universe. All are welcome. Come watch, listen, and wonder with us.

—There is a proposal for two sculpture gardens built by our mason, smith and landscaper. Both will be built on the patter of the lemniscate. 52 iron spears that hold the rising sun in the East will be aligned to touch 7 points on the sun. In the West there will be 12 swords that will line up next to the setting sun. These two projects are expected to take 3 to 5 years to complete, and their pinpoints should last over 1000 years.

TTours and Weddings
The PEACH offers our campus tours twice a year, with an informational presentation at the end of the tour in the lecture hall. These typically happen in January and June. Private tours are available, and we ask that you make arrangements two weeks in advance and for any scheduled celebrations or events. We also ask that you call at least 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel this appointment.

Weddings are a blessed event, and many people choose the atrium, chapel, or grotto for this united celebration. The hall in the Swan Factory and the patio are also available, and we are happy to recommend our staff or your chosen vendor to cater this event. However, we do not schedule weddings during PEACH celebrations on campus or during working hours. Please, make sure you check with the scheduling office for available dates. There are fees for non-members using these facilities.
