Celebration of the Late Planting New Moon Fire
Sunday June 18, 9:00 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 June 18, 2023 at 9:00 AM ET. We start with the Stick Dance to clear the space, then the Fires are lit.
All are Welcome to join by zoom or in person.
On the New Moon in June, we celebrate the Late Planting Moon – Anisguti.
In Voices of Our Ancestors, Venerable Dhyani writes,
“In the traditional way of life, gardens were a ceremonial event for all, an opportunity to give to the Earth as well as to receive. The seeds of good food are also the seeds of good relationship, so caretaking the garden is symbolic of caretaking all beings. The garden can be an offering to all.”
~ Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo
Following the Fire, Prayers, Practices and Offerings, we will walk to the Community Garden to continue in planting activities. Please bring your plants, seeds, tools along with sounds of drum, rattles and chanting so that the seed’s bounty can be brought forth. We will also make the prayer sticks for each of the directions to plant in the garden.
There will be a pot luck feast afterwards at the Community Hall.
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 at the Sunray Peace Village or lighting the Fire on home shrines and joining in the practices through zoom.
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.
