June – PEACH COMMUNITY

.
.
.
JUNE – Spring is in full swing, while summer is quickly approaching. The feeling of warmth and light from the sun brings joy to the long days ahead, and the day-dreaming that slips in upon us brings comfort to our minds and hearts. We busy ourselves in the garden, working with determination at our tasks, knowing, instinctively, what the harvest will bring.

In June, at the PEACH, it is time to take care of loose ends and reflect a bit on the year so far. It is also a time to make ready for the needs of nature and play. Residents, Members, and Workers make ready for the fun to begin over the summer months with family, friends and the broader community. Towards the end of June there is a small respite, rest enough to make ready for the excitement of the weeks to come.
.

Modernity
What does it mean to be civilized in the modern world? Every Wednesday at 7PM, throughout the month of June, Prof. Burke will offer a series of Lectures on a particular set of topics. A brief overview of western society and the developments of art, economics, and politics. Followed by the importance of the culture life through the historic reflections in the visual arts and music, and finally, an outline of the Three-Fold Social Order and how this can be implemented within a developing Community.

“There is a wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart.” Charles Dickens

Bloomsday and the Strawberry Lilac Dance
Everything in the gardens have been planted and is in full swing. Tending now is what we do best. A time of simple upkeep, and the occasion has arrived for human beings to prepare to slumber. Meanwhile, the plant world opens up and sings its songs, recites its poetry, and expresses its beauty through sheer will. The gardens are at their best, transforming from sprout to their most perfect state, the leaf. Buds are just forming, and some, though few, are just about to flower. All of nature refines its skills for the fruits they will bear in the months to come.

We can see and observe this reflected in the age of modernity, a certain refinement in our thought processes, which is reflected in the age of science and the deputation of art and design. The Victorian Age matures into the modern era of the 20th century. A time of invention, of what has been discovered and created, but looking to be made affluent.

June waltzes in slowly on the 16th with the reading of Ulysses on the Steps, the epic Novel by the Irish author James Joyce. For those who participate or spend time taking in the book and its reading, the Bloomsday Strawberry Lilac Dance in the atrium is a welcome celebration, and the festivity announces that summer is just on the verge.

Women wear your Parisian gowns and your feathered chapeaux. Men, grow your handle-bar mustache, carry your cane, and don your straw hats. Wear your refined frills, and spills, skip the light fandango with the Cinderella waltz, the grizzly bear, a tango, a simple two-step, an everyday polka, forever dancing cheek to cheek. In between the dances, sip the wonderful refreshing strawberry lilac punch, spiked and unspiked, pinkies up! Enjoy a dainty cucumber finger sandwich or two, along with a lovely dish of lilac and lemon rose custard. An adventure is at hand and summer is on its way. Treasure hunt, you say?

.Summer Solstice
The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year. It is when the Sun is at its zenith in the sky, and for almost a fortnight holds its position, as if floating or hovering in one place. Then the sun appears to move again, and the days begin to fade. We see this same phenomenon during the Winter Solstice through the darkness.

This is a solemn festival. It is a high holiday for many pagans. We hold fast to the northern pagan traditions. Astronomically, the exact time of the Solstice is movable, so the time and Invocations do change.

However, the celebration does not change. At The Hour, First Dawn, and First Twilight, the Bell is rung 12 times.

However, the celebration does not change. At The Hour, First Dawn, and First Twilight, the Bell is rung 12 times. At sunrise, people gather by the water, an Invocation is offered. If the weather is clear, the feeling one experiences is nothing short of heavenly.

When the hour has come, there is a gathering in the garden. If you have the ears, you would hear the flowers and insects sing. An Invocation is offered.

At night, in the forest, as the sun turns to twilight, people gather once more. If you have the eyes to see, you will notice the trees stretching their branches out towards the summer moon. An Invocation is offered.

In-between the Invocations, there is storytelling, music, poetry, chatting and picnicking in the open and shaded areas. All who wish to celebrate these events are welcome.

Note: All activities on the property cease on the 20th, when the bells ring and the Invocations are at hand.

At 10AM, 2PM and 4PM there are walking tours of the property. Must register.
All the skill shops are open and on display, demonstrations are also given.

Saint John’s Tide
The Celebration of St John’s Tide – June 24th, Midsummer’s Day – is an event just for members of the community. This holiday is celebrated at the Lake Farm. However, the Chapel is open to those who wish to celebrate and honor St John and the seasonal angelic Archi. Members from the Christian Community will have a service at 10:30AM. After the service, there will be coffee and cake on the patio outside the cafeteria, followed by a lecture on the historical and meaning of St. John’s Day in the Chapel.

Members from the PEACH Community will then drive out to the Lake Farm for an afternoon potluck. When families arrive, everyone gets right to work. The menfolk and children will finish hauling the piles of refuge from the fields to a scaffold built on the lake. The womenfolk will prepare and serve the luncheon. After the bread is broken and thanks is given, people will mill about, visit the farm animals. Some will take walks in the fields weaving daisy and dandelions chains, hike in the woods looking for the fairy folk at play, delighting in wonderful conversations with the elders and farming community. Some families will camp by the lake, and they will take this time to set up their tents for an extended weekend. In the late afternoon, everyone makes their way to the lake and enjoys swimming, boating, taking in the fresh air and gentle breezes.

At twilight, a horn is blown, an incantation is spoken, all gather round the floating scaffold singing songs to the sun, songs that reflect the burning away of sorrows, bad habits, ill wishes, and discomforting thoughts. In this symbolism of fire, we celebrate the power of the sun and grant that it keeps burning bright not only on the earth as redemption to nature, but inside each of us. Then the young men set the refuge ablaze. The scaffold will be cut loose, setting sail on the lake. Great cheers, clapping, and waves of farewell are sent on its launch. Songs are now sung for the transformation of our weaknesses and faults to be renewed in strength with purpose.
