# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Spring Solar Tilt
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 12 May, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Tue, 12 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: You and your family are invited to participate in the 3rd Annual Spring Solar Tilt, a hands-on community event where we gather together to celebrate green energy, honor the changing seasons and pray for the earth. Capacity is limited, so register if you are coming!

Holy Wisdom Monastery is proudly a net-zero facility, having implemented solar energy and geothermal heating and cooling in 2024 in our Retreat & Guest House.

The monastery’s 30-panel solar array can be tilted vertically or horizontally, depending on the season. The panels are currently in their more vertical position which helps to shed snow and catch the lower winter sun more efficiently. They must each be manually hand-cranked by teams of three people into their flat spring/summer orientation. Individuals, families, and teams from the community and local businesses are all invited to come be a part of this unique event!

There is no cost for this event unless you sign up for dinner before the tilting. Register below to let us know you’ll be coming. Each family will be responsible for one handle.

Dinner will take place in the Monastery Dining Room before going outside to begin the Tilt. Parking space may be limited, so bring your friends, but please carpool if you can. Dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear for uneven terrain.

$0 – Tilt participant or observer
$15 – Tilt participant or observer plus optional dinner (kids 6 and under eat free)
