Green Corn Celebration and New Moon Fire
Sunday Jul 7, 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 for the New Moon Fire at the Peace Village on July 7 at 9:00 AM ET. We start with the Stick Dance to clear the space, then the Fires are lit.
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
Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo writes in Voices of Our Ancestors,
“The corn grows according to our thinking and our actions. If we do not tend it, if we do not thin it out and water it at the right times, then it grows not so well. So, too, with our relationships as individuals in a family, with our co-workers, our friends. Each of us must sow good seeds. We must plant a garden where we are able to honor and respect one another and recognize ourselves moving in step with the very rhythm of this Earth. This we all know. It is the ideal.”
All are Welcome
After Lighting of the Fires, offering prayers and dance/meditation practices, we will feast together with a potluck lunch.
In afternoon, we make offerings to the land with Arbor repairs, gardening and “growing corn” together!
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.
Note To Our Zoom Friends:
There will be no Zoom celebration for this month’s New Moon Fire, as Sunray ministers on Zoom will be joining in the Beautyway Summer Seminar with Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo.
The Basic Practices will be offered by the officiating Minister in the Arbor. Please join in by lighting the candle on your shrine and offering the Basic Practices, including the Dance of the Directions and Sunray Basic Meditation and Diamond Body Practice. The Sunray Basic Meditation, Diamond Body Practice, and Dance of the Directions can be found here: https://sunray.org/resources/
