Reflections on the Holy Land Pilgrimage
THIS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 2023, 6:45–8:15 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom. Optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($6/child; $8/adult; $25/max. family).
Walking in the footsteps of Jesus, in the land of the Holy One, is a transformative journey which thirty souls from the cathedral community recently made. As Christians, we are all called to make pilgrimage as a spiritual practice, drawing on sacred experiences, near and far. This special forum is designed to share a bit of the flavor, rhythms, challenges, and insights gleaned from the experience on the pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Many have asked when we might hear more about the trip—this is the opportunity to do so. See a few snapshots from the trip here. All are welcome, in person or on Zoom. Join online using this Zoom link.

Mideast Focus Film Series presents: H2: The Occupation Lab
THIS THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 7 P.M. online only
The first three events in the 2023 Mideast Focus Film Series have featured important, thought-provoking films and lively discussions. The next film in the Mideast Focus Film Series is H2: The Occupation Lab, a documentary by two Israeli directors opposed to the Occupation. The film argues that the ancient city of Hebron is a "laboratory" for the Occupation, serving as "both a microcosm of the entire conflict and a test site for the methods of control Israel is implementing throughout the West Bank." In the only Palestinian city with a Jewish settlement inside of it, the Israeli settlers themselves have become the agents of control, while the Israeli military’s role has become that of protecting the settlers while they attack Palestinians.
Our guests for the post-film discussion will be Julia Pitner, a contributing editor for The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, in conversation with one of the directors of the film, Noam Sheizaf. For information about how to join, send an email to seattlemideastfocus@gmail.com

Cathedral Day 2023!
SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 2023
Cathedral Day is a celebration of the community of the Diocese of Olympia—a "family reunion" for Episcopalians from across western Washington. Cathedral Day is a time for connecting across communities, experiencing your cathedral in a new light... and it's a lot of fun. There’s something for everyone—no matter your age! This year, Cathedral Day and Earth Day fall on the same day. The theme of Living Water will be reflected in the liturgy and in the day's activities, which emphasize Creation Care.
A liturgy of Holy Eucharist with the rites of confirmation, reception, and reaffirmation for candidates from parishes near and far will begin at 10:30 a.m., opening with a grand, colorful procession of parish banners. Following the service, all are invited to enjoy lunch from food trucks and participate in activities for all ages, including food demonstration, garden tour, butterfly release, and more, along with Cathedral Day staples like organ demonstration, collaborative art project, paper airplane launch from the loft, and the bounce house!

THE WISDOM SCHOOL AT SAINT MARK'S
The Wisdom of Your Body: Finding Healing, Wholeness, and Connection Through Embodied Living
a Saturday gathering with Hillary L. McBride, Ph.D.
SATURDAY, MAY 6, 2023, 9:30 A.M.–3 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall and online via Zoom; registration required for either option.
Many of us have, unknowingly, been sold the story that our minds are superior to our bodies, and that our bodies are barriers to “pure” or “true” spirituality. Together, we will examine how these ideas continue to keep us from wholeness. We’ll explore practices that help us repair the fragmentations we carry inside of us, so that we can truly remember our bodily selves.
Hillary L. McBride is a therapist, researcher, speaker and writer. She holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of British Columbia, with a focus on women’s experiences in and of the body, particularly at significant transitions points. She is the author of Mothers, Daughters, and Body Image: Learning to Love Ourselves as We Are (2017), Embodiment and Eating Disorders (2018), and, most recently, The Wisdom of Your Body (2021). Learn more about Hillary here.
Fee: $65 (for both online and in-person participants). Scholarships available. Includes a light lunch and snacks for those participating in person. Registration required; please submit the form here.

Exploring Racial Justice in the Episcopal Church

This forum, led by Canon Carla Robinson and Vinh Do, is designed as part of that work. All cathedral members are encouraged to register to attend, and members from other churches are most welcome also. This is an opportunity to listen, learn and engage in conversation with others as we seek to understand and work towards racial justice in our communities, guided by five questions developed by the Task Force. Contact Canon Carla Robinson for more information: crobinson@ecww.org
Program is free, but registration is required for in-person or online participation. Register by submitting the form at this link.

Tree Removal Update
A large elm tree in front of the St. Nicholas building has deteriorated in recent years due to Dutch Elm Disease (the disease which has killed over 75% of all the elm trees in North America over the last hundred years). Certified arborists and the City of Seattle concluded that the tree was irreparably diseased and had become a fall risk, so earlier this week Kemp West Tree Service carefully felled the tree, navigating the power lines and trolley lines under its sprawling canopy. A ring count suggests the tree was right at 100 years of age, making it the oldest tree on our campus. The wood will be salvaged, seasoned, and used for furniture and a sculpted art piece. We give thanks for this majestic tree and honor its life in our midst. Saint Mark’s will plant a new tree in its place as part of our commitment to Creation Care. See some additional photos here.

FROM OUR NEIGHBORS
The Seattle Choral Company presents: The Fruit of Silence featuring John Rutter’s Requiem
SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 8 P.M., in the cathedral nave; Pre-concert talk with director Freddie Coleman at 7 p.m.
The Seattle Choral Company (A Saint Mark's Cathedral Artist-in-residence choir) presents their mid-season concert featuring three works on a theme of darkness giving way to light. Widely recognized by musicians worldwide, John Rutter is beloved for his lush melodies and orchestrations. Rutter’s Requiem is unmistakably optimistic in its message of hope and solace, expressed through uplifting musical themes and beautiful texts in both Latin and English. Bob Chilcott’s Canticles of Light exudes comfort, and the texts, sung at the service of Compline in the evening and Matins in the morning, ask for God’s light to protect us through the night and to allay our fears. In 2013 Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks set Mother Teresa’s universal prayer of peace to music, creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that has become a staple for choirs around the world. More information and tickets are available here.
