at the 38th Annual Native American Elders Gathering
Celebration of the Green Corn New Moon Fire
Sunday July 31, 7:00 A.M. EDT
Dear Friends of Sunray near and far,
You are invited to Sunray Meditation Society and New Moon Fire at the Peace Village on July 31, 2022 at 7:00 AM ET. The celebration of the Green Corn occurs during the 38th Annual Native American Elders Gathering July 29-31, 2022.
The Sacred Fires will be lit at sunrise on Friday July 29 and continue through the weekend. At 7:00 am July 31, we gather at the Fires as the Elders make opening prayers of the day.
The Green Corn Moon called Tihaluhiyi in Cherokee is the time of celebrating the first signs of the “corn in tassel”. The Green Corns are a most special gift as they remind us of the emerging growing season. It is a time of celebration and joy for the entire community, celebrating the maturing fruits of the group’s endeavors.
After the opening prayers, special dances, Basic Meditation and other practices are offered. We are grateful to the Earth and join with the theme of this Elders Gathering,
“Land: Caretaking Mother Earth. Returning the gift of Love and nurturing to the Mother who sustains us.”
All are Welcome to join by zoom or in person.
For those from afar, you may like to select a specific candle that can become your dedicated New Moon Candle. When the Home Fire is lit in the Arbor, connect your heart to that Fire, light your candle on your shrine.
Join with us offering your prayers, dance and meditation practice for the benefit of all beings.
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.
All are welcome to join us at the Peace Village (following CDC guidelines) or by lighting the Fire on your home shrine and joining in the practices on zoom.
