“Whether you call it Gathering of the Waters, Ingathering, or Homecoming, this time of the year is an exercise in deep discernment as to what coming home really means when we can’t gather in person as we would like. This year means much more to me than I would have expected. I learned that our ingathering rituals come from the same idea as homecoming, taking stock in our community members, and the preparation for change. “
