Meditation
The 15-minute meditation will now begin at 12:15PM. If attending, please arrive by 12:10PM.
If not attending, please do not enter the hall until it’s completion. The doors to the hall will be closed with a sign designating “Meditation In Session.”
Parking (Vernet Ecological Center)
At the Center, Glen Helen has a paved parking lot with an attendant and a parking fee. There is no charge for special events so you will not need to pay. Just inform the attendant that you are attending Ellen’s Celebration of Life. Now, if you want to support the Glen, you could always pay the parking fee.
If the lot is full, Corry Street on street parking is restricted to the west side of the street.
Wear bright colors. It’s a Celebration and it is spring. Ellen would really like that.
Please revisit this page from time to time in the event that there are changes
in the information or to the schedule.
Thank you.
