Celebration of Snow Moon Fire and Winter Solstice
Sunday December 21, 9:00 A.M. EST
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 December 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.
The New Moon in December is the Snow Moon Usgiyi. The spirit being, “Snow Man”, brings the cold and snow for the earth to cover the high places while the earth rests until the rebirth of the season in March. This is a time of storing goods for the next cycle and retelling ancient stories of the people to the young.
The Winter Solstice has a particular spiritual intensity as it calls forth the light to penetrate the long winters night. Meditating together with prayers that all beings may benefit, that there be no hunger, that people have homes and that there be peace and right relationships. These are times of strengthening community and offering gratitude for the light and the seasons change.
From Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo,
“May the Ani Yun Wiwa Snow Moon support growing wisdom and compassionate skill in transforming patterns arising from conditioned experience. May the wisdom within every being flourish and grow.”
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.
For those in person, join in a potluck feast following the Arbor Fires.
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.
