Honor Our Loss: 2020
July 3, 2021
Dare to Hope: 2021
July 4, 2021
Now accepting Sponsors
The Honor Loss/ Dare to Hope Series will be scheduled in compliance with health department recommendations for large groups.
On Saturday July 3, we Honor Loss by having children of all ages write something they lost in 2020 on a river rock and paint it with an assortment of blue tones. Those stones will go to create a new area at Valley of the Moon, a beautiful river of river rocks to honor who and what we have lost in 2020. On Sunday July 4, we will Dare to Hope by writing a message of hope for 2021 on river rocks and decorating them with light and bright colors. These beautiful rocks will form the banks of our new river. Our goal is to raise emotional awareness and fill our riverbed with a range of feelings. Creating images for what was lost in 2020 is extremely important. Equally essential is to dare to hope things will be better. This project reveals that hopes for the future can help contain the grief from loss.

Inclusion
Since its inception, Valley of the Moon has been a place of inclusion.
When first legally incorporated in 1945, our stated purpose included:
To advocate tolerance towards all religions…,
to foster the divine principle of tolerance and brotherly love for all mankind, regardless of race, creed, or color.
This intention was bold in 1945 and sadly is still urgently needed today.
Valley of the Moon has stayed true to this primary guiding principle for 75 years.
If we ever fall short, please let me know; we want to know how we can do better.
