The EarthSpirit Community

2 weeks ago

We are sad to announce the passing of Susan Curewitz Arthen on Friday, July 26, 2019

Sue was at the heart of the EarthSpirit Community, which she was instrumental in forming, and served on its board as an officer for 35 years. At the 41st annual Rites of Spring gathering this May, she was ritually named as an Elder of the community along with Morwen and Jimi Two Feathers. This title was bestowed on her as a result of her work as a teacher, a priestess, a wedding officiant, a counselor, a wise woman and a generous spirit who welcomed all. She laughed easily and "gave great hugs". She spoke with humor and truth, accepting people as they came, while never hesitating to offer an honest reflection when asked (or not). Through the Facebook group, “Sunflowers for Sue” (www.facebook.com/groups/1664781700420442/ ), you can find many memories and blessings that community members offered for her, both during her illness and after her death.

Sue taught classes and workshops at EarthSpirit events as well as through Cherry Hill Seminary, (where she served on the Board of Directors), and Covenant of the Goddess, for whom she also served as a local and national Board officer. She participated and represented EarthSpirit at the Parliament of the World's Religions meetings from 1993-2018, coordinating our outreach booth for many years. She wrote about Tarot and about Rites of Passage and was published several times.

Susan was buried at Glenwood Farm, EarthSpirit’s home in the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, in a small family ceremony. Her whole community mourns her passing. ... See MoreSee Less

hey- I'm looking into budgets and logistics... can someone remind me how far it is to Hartford, please? In other words, if I've gotta be there by Friday mealtime, what time do I need to arrive in Hartford in order to be able to make it? (edit...) We leave the mountain midday(ish) on the Monday, right? (It's been a few years since I did this gathering). Do you think I could get back to Hartford by 4ish?

Two thoughts: 1. SQUEEEEEE! 2. How the everliving F*<£ are any of you thinking about this?!

How I would love to participate this year. Alas... not till 2020...

To do this is to honor all that brings all of us to this point, painful though it may be.

It looks like the list of clans is from 2018?
