New Moon Fire Celebration of Planting Moon
Sunday August 9, 9:00 A.M. EDT
SUNRAY PEACE VILLAGE, LINCOLN, VT
ALL ARE WELCOME
Dear Friends of Sunray near and far,
You are invited to Sunray Meditation Society and New Moon Fire at the Peace Village on August 9, 2026 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.
In August we celebrate the Ripe Corn Moon —Guyegwoni— refers to the “first roasting of ears” (of corn). This celebrates the kindness and the opportunity to show appreciation for the life force as it manifests in all of the edible kingdom.
The energy of food and sharing meals together creates a whole system of interrelationship which people approach in a very sacred manner. Whomever you eat with, in the Native tradition, becomes your relative. Everything you eat, dedicate its life force for the benefit of all.
Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo has shared in Hidden Treasures,
“While wearing a human body, you inhale, you exhale. You see the sun rise, you see it set. Look at nature to restore your certainty that you are part of a flow. And then recognize how your thought contributes to arising appearances.”
~ Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo
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 or by lighting the Fire on your home shrine and joining in the practices on 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.
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.
