City of Sausalito: Gravity and Levitation
“Gravity & Levitation” – A Tree Lighting & Community Reflection on Remembrance & Caregiving
Friday, March 20, 2026, from 6 – 7:30 pm
Tiffany Park, Downtown Sausalito
March 20 is the vernal equinox and symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and the balance between light and darkness. In the spirit of the day, the City of Sausalito Parks and Recreation Department is holding an event to embrace and acknowledge the full spectrum of life, including loss, grief and the challenges posed by long-term caregiving.
Join us at 6 pm in Tiffany Park for a period of silent reflection, simple artmaking and group meditation, near Tim Collins’ nearby artwork “Gravity is a Law in the Material World, Levitation is a Law in the Spiritual World“, commissioned in the 1990s as a memorial to lives lost, followed by a short (0.5-mile) walk to Vina Del Mar Plaza to witness the lighting of a tree, which will remain lit until the end of April.
Sausalito First Lady and local artist Lucinda Eubanks will lead participants in making paper ornaments of remembrance for the tree, with Roy Remer, Executive Director of the Zen Caregiving Project (formerly the Zen Hospice project), and Paul Mowry, City Chaplain, guiding the reflection and meditation.
After the event ends, coffee, hot cocoa and mingling will be available at Franko & Co (across the street from the park) to give attendees a chance to build community, and watch the lighted tree and artwork come to life in the descending darkness.
Learn more, and RSVP (optional, but helpful) here. There is no charge to attend, but donations to help defray the costs of the event and support complementary future city programming are welcome.
