Celebration of New Moon Fire
Bone Moon and Losar
Sunday February 15, 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 February 15, 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.
This New Moon (actual New Moon is 2/17) is known as the Bone Moon Kagali, and is also the celebration of Losar, which begins on 2/18 This is the Tibetan Fire Horse Year.
The New Moon time in Feburary, the beginning of Lunar New Year, is when the intention for the world’s creation first went out. At BONE moon, when nature may seem quiet or harsh or barren, we know that creation is being called forth. Through the dark quiet time between this new moon and the next moon, we all rededicate ourselves to a year of good relationship. The ceremony embodies clear intention, planting seeds of good cause that the community may ever be in good relations.
The 21 day period before the New Moon is for deep cleaning, spiritually, physically, in all realms. It is wise to redo the house at this time, making all things clear and bright, free of dust and clutter. Look at the nature of one’s mind and confess arrogance and doubt; cast them out as you clean your home.
Tibetans also celebrate Losar by cleaning and decorating their homes, making offerings to deities and hosting gatherings. It is a time for forgiveness, family reunions, and wishing good luck and prosperity for the new year.
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.
