New Moon Fire Celebration of Planting Moon
Sunday July 12, 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 July 12, 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 July we celebrate Green Corn Moon. We see the first fruits of what we’ve been planting, and what we’ve been praying for and working towards. We give thanks to this growing green energy and pray that all might have abundance.
This is also the weekend when some have gathered at the Village for sweat lodge. Those folks will be going into the lodge at dawn, and come out of lodge to attend the new moon fire. For those afar, you can join your prayers to those being made with the lodge medicine.
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.”
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.
