Welcome to the Unity with Nature Committee Resources Page
The Unity with Nature Committee provides a deeply reflective forum for the expression of our spiritual connection with the natural world. We act locally on behalf of Goose Creek Monthly Meeting on projects rising from and supported by the collective spirit of the committee, and we encourage Friends and others to educate themselves and take action concerning the care and restoration of the natural world locally, regionally, nationally, and globally.

Unity With Nature Guided Meditations
Online the third Thursday of the month, 7:30 – 8:30 pm. The intention – or guiding theme – of these meditations is to nurture within each of us our kinship with each other and all that we share in this life: the care of our planet, the bond of our human family, the deep and restorative nature of loving kindness and compassionate witness in the service of peace. To sign up to receive the Zoom link each month or for more information, please contact Liz Huntington: huntington.ea@gmail.com or call Liz at 570-955-8927.
