    Weddings

    A Sacred Beginning in the Light

    Celebrate your love in the historic stone barn or beneath the open sky of our 21-acre sanctuary. Sunlight through ancient beams, peacocks wandering the meadows, and the quiet labyrinth nearby create a setting of natural grace and timeless beauty. Whether it’s an intimate vow exchange, a vibrant celebration, or a blending of traditions, our grounds offer a unique canvas for your special day, steeped in peace and possibility.

    We welcome all couples—interfaith, same-sex, or secular—with flexible ceremonies rooted in Quaker simplicity and open-hearted inclusion. Work with our pastor or bring your own officiant.

    Funerals & Memorials

    A Peaceful Farewell in the Light

    A life well-lived finds its resting place in the stillness of the stone barn, by the pond, or beneath the trees. Our sacred grounds—labyrinth, meadows, and candlelit chapel—offer a thin place for remembrance, reflection, and release.

    Whether it’s a quiet tribute, a heartfelt gathering, or a personal farewell, these spaces provide a gentle haven to mourn, heal, and find peace amidst nature’s embrace. All faiths and none are welcome. Personalized services blend silence, music, and shared stories, guided by compassion and the gentle practice of holding one another in the Light.
