New Moon Fire Celebration of the Trading Moon
Sunday November 7, 9:00 A.M. EST
Dear Global Community Friends,
You are invited to Sunray Meditation Society and the Peace Village’s New Moon Fire on November 7, 2021. Lighting of the Fires will be at 9:00 AM following the Stick Dance. Please join us by offering your prayers, practices and heart resonance on zoom (link below). All are Welcome!
For the Cherokee, the New Moon in November is called the Trading Moon–Nvdadegwa. It is also called the Big Moon Month–Nvdadequa or Nvdadeqwa.
Traditionally this was a time of trading and barter among different towns and tribes for produce and goods from hunting and the land. The people traded with other nearby tribes as well as distant tribes, including those of Canada, Middle and South America. The needy among the towns were given whatever they needed to help them through the impending lean winter season.
May we celebrate this New Moon together at the Peace Village and globally online to offer the precious practices taught to us by Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo with the Dance, Basic Meditation, Star Weaving and Medicine Wheel Mandala along with prayers and corn meal.
Venerable Dhyani writes in Voices of Our Ancestors “Our sacred power is our prayer power and the clarity of our thinking.” She also writes from the Seven Winds
“The means of perceiving the nature of one’s mind–
to observe one’s thoughts and actions–
is to set the intention to be the best person one can possibly be, to benefit all.”
Come to the Fires, connecting your shrine Fires to the Circle!
All are welcome to join at the Peace Village, following CDC guidelines or lighting the Fire on home shrines and joining in the practices. We would also like to remind you of the Daylight Savings Time affecting our North American community in the early hours of Sunday, November 7th. Please remember to change your clocks to not miss this event!
Guided by Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo, we celebrate the traditions of the Green Mountain Ani Yun Wiwa as the gateway through which Ywahoo Lineage teachings are shared.
