New Moon Fire Celebration of Cherokee Lunar New Year
Sunday January 30th, 9:00 A.M. ET
Dear Global Community Friends,
You are invited to Sunray Meditation Society and the Peace Village’s New Moon Fire on Jan 30th, 2022. 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!
“The Tsalagi (Cherokee) ceremonial calendar is based upon the Mayan (Aztec) calendar, in which measurements of time relate to the movements of Venus, Mars, the Pleiades star system and Sirius. The Elo states that the calendar was carried from land which fell beneath the sea. The mathematics were brought to Earth from the Pleiades with the wave of star beings who are ancestors to every Tsalagi.”
Voices of Our Ancestors by Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo.
This New Moon, the beginning of the New Year, is when the intention for the world’s creation first went out. Through the dark quiet time of New Moon, we all rededicate ourselves to a year of good relationship, bringing awareness and skillful perceptions of all we meet. The winter ceremonies support creative essence.
In preparation for the Cherokee New Year, we stay near home, house clean and sweep away dust with fresh pine boughs.
This is a time of thinking of all those who have passed away and consider the lessons learned. Rejoice in what is shared and send off with light. Have a feast with family and friends setting a plate for family members who have died this year and another plate for the ancestors.
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.
Come to the Fires, connecting your shrine Fires to the Circle!
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 at the Peace Village, following CDC guidelines or lighting the Fire on home shrines and joining in the practices.
Note To Our Zoom Friends:
Our camera will bring you into the Sacred Arbor on the New Moon Fires with a single stationary camera view of the Central Fire.
There will be no zoom moderator.
This change supports the sacred ground, Medicine and prayers within the Arbor, encouraging a practice of quiet focus for all.
The Basic Practices will be offered by the officiating Minister in the Arbor. Please join in by viewing the Fire and participating in your practices throughout transmission interruptions.
