Unity with Nature

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.

Bird Walk

This Spring bird walk will be led by Mary Ann Good of Lincoln, a well-known local birder who is sought after for her ability to identify birds by their calls/songs.  She will be joined by another ace birder, Jane Yokum, from Purcellville.  Both women are very active with Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy. Clothing and shoes: Wear clothing appropriate for hiking with sturdy shoes.

Total walking distance: Maybe 1-1.5 miles with lots of stops to ID the birds.

Hiking With Friends

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.
