The Spiral Grove is an interpath community of nature spirituality. Our purpose is to co-create community that facilitates and implements holistic, interpath, nature-based spirituality in order to improve the quality of life in the community and the world by promoting an appreciation of diversity and providing for the arts, education, outreach, and ecologically sustainable living.

"The Celebration Rituals of the 8 nature holidays of the Wheel of the Year (sabbats) and Quarterly Councils are open to all people 18 or older, membership is not required. Minors are welcome if accompanied by a guardian or if they provide written permission from a guardian, signed and dated. However, if you wish to be a supporting community member, we ask an annual donation of $15 a year to cover administrative costs of running a non-profit." (link to donation page)
