Lantern Walk

Join us on Sunday, November 17th at 4:45 PM in the school parking lot for our 2024 Lantern Walk

November clearly marks the change in seasons and draws even more attention to the necessity of light. Acknowledging the importance of light, whether it is the light of the sun or moon or the more ethereal concept of "inner light", has been a significant component of many cultures across time.

One way Tamarack brings a time to pause and consider the light (in its many forms) is our Lantern Walk. The students make handmade lanterns out of jars and candles in the weeks leading up to the festival. We meet in the school parking lot at 4:45, just as the sun is going down, and walk around the neighborhood with our lanterns lit, singing songs about our inner and outer light.

Parents, grandparents, friends, and alum are welcome!

Wreath Making Workshop

We are excited to bring back our Wreath Making Workshop! Katie Schwarz (Tamarack parent), who has over 20 years of floral experience, will lead this workshop.

Supplies to be furnished include a wreath form and fresh evergreens. Participants should bring their own hand shears if possible but there will be some on hand. Participants are also encouraged to bring evergreens or other decorative elements from home, such as interesting trimmings from their own yard, dried seed heads, feathers, bells, ornaments, ribbons, etc.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Young children are welcome but will need adult supervision.

This is a drop-in event, but you must pay ahead of time. Watch for a sign-up sheet soon.

Festival of Courage

The Festival of Courage allows the community to come together to experience the seasonal changes that autumn brings, celebrate the harvest, and reflect on the themes of courage, transformation, and inner work. As the days shorten and darkness grows, we are challenged to look at the light and courage that surrounds us, and we heed the call to draw that light within to meet the challenges of the new school year and the coming winter.
