Celebration of the Harvest New Moon Fire
and
Autumnal Equinox
Sunday September 21, 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 September 21, 2025 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 September, we celebrate the Harvest and Autumnal Equinox (9/22/2025).
The Harvest Moon Duninudi is when we give thanks to all the living things of the fields and earth that helped them live. The Harvest celebration is held toward the end of nature’s year and yet is actually a beginning. As the fruits of all our crops are harvested and shared, we acknowledge the Above Beings are blessing us and watching over us.
Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo writes in Voices of Our Ancestors:
“The idea to offer thanks and apologies arises from a spiritual worldview that sees all in relationship.By showing appreciation for the beings eaten, whether flesh, grain, fruit or vegetable, one caretakes the seeds left for future gardens. Nothing is wasted.
”
After prayers, practices and offerings, there will be a pot luck feast 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 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.
