Celebration of the Trading Moon Fire
Sunday November 23, 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 November 23, 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.
As the natural world slows down and prepares for a deep rest, the changing color and shedding of leaves is a reminder to us all to honor the cycles of life. May we embrace the beauty of change and invite time to be slow as the seasons shift and the daylight wains.
The New Moon in November is called the Trading Moon (Nu-da-de-qua). Traditionally this is a time of trading and barter among different towns and tribes of produce and goods from hunting. This was also the time when people were given what was needed for the future lean winter season.
“Gratitude is the recognition that we are part of a field of wisdom, similar to a single drop of rain and its many transitions. Our awareness of this field of abundance, awakened wisdom that we are all moving in, is sometimes like a block of ice made frozen in the concepts of you or I and the grasping at self and other.”
~ Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo,
Gratitude For All Those Who Have Pointed the Way wisdom class
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.
