THIS
SATURDAY, 5/29 – 8:30 a.m. TREATY OAK CEREMONY AND BREAKFAST

Despite a chance of light rain, it is cool and beautiful--perfect weather if you are a tree. We will go ahead. Consider bringing umbrella or rainjacket. For more information, call or text Susan, 512-810-0236.
If anyone can bring tarps (as well as blankets) that will help us keep blankets from getting soggy.
The WildEarth
Climate Action Team invites you and friends to join us for this spiritually and
physically nourishing event! We will gather at 8:30 a.m. at Treaty Oak
Square, 507 Baylor Street, which is downtown just west of Lamar S. between
5th and 6th street. Enter this little park from Baylor
Street (there are a number of metered City parking spaces on Baylor Street).
We are inspired to visit Treaty Oak because of its unique and important history in this region, as one of our 500+ year old neighbors. The Treaty Oak is a Texas live oak tree in Austin, Texas, United States, and the last surviving member of the Council Oaks, a grove of 14 trees that served as a sacred meeting place for Comanche and Tonkawa tribes prior to European settlement of the area. (Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_Oak_(Austin,_Texas)
We begin at
8:30 a.m. with a ritual led by Sheila Ray (thank you Sheila!), and eat
and socialize afterwards. Families welcome. There is one small picnic table,
and a limited grassy area but big enough for kids to play around.
Please RSVP on this Google Form https://forms.gle/gqHnC4Rn1ZruyMvBA that Aly Tharp created to help us plan.
Some important things that are on the form:
- Bringing blankets and/or chairs is suggested. Let us know on the form if you
need us to bring chairs for you.
- Let us know if you will potluck with us or bring your own food.
- If potlucking, what you plan to bring.
