Celebration of New Moon Fire
Planting Moon
Sunday May 5, 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 May 5 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.
The appropriate day of planting is chosen by auspicious lunar and planetary configurations and length of growing season. The seeds are prepared for planting by placing them upon the shrine where the prayers and aspirations of the family and community may become imbued in the seeds. To prepare the field for planting, we make offerings to the four directions and calling forth the protectors and giving thanks for the opportunity to be there.
These spiritual practices of dancing at the garden, making offerings and singing gives energy to the earth. These practices also bring good harvest and mindfulness through the entire growing season of the life within the seed and within the growing plants.
Bring your gardening clothes and a potluck dish to share.
Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo writes,
“In all our ceremonies , a commitment was that the prayers offered would bring benefit to all of our relatives. To bring benefit to all, my Grandfather would say,
“I am thankful for the wind, the light, thank you the giver of the breath, and all ripples of relationship.“
This giving thanks is also acknowledging the circle of relationsip. ‘I inhale you sweet wind and dedicate my speech, thought, and action to bringing forth what is good for my family, clan, land, and all my relatives. These are beyond one’s own group and we recognize there is a loop that connects us all.”
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.
