~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In honor of all souls day, at the time when the veil between us and our Ancestors is the thinnest, we come together to create a day long Ceremony to focus on feeding, embracing, and acknowledging our roots to allow what sustains and sets us free to come forth. 

How we move forward is tied to how we deal with our past and our Ancestors. We have come to this moment in time in part because of the choices of our ancestors. In this daylong ceremony we create an opportunity to give thanks and forgive our Ancestors in particularly if our relationships with them have been confusing.

Do we sustain ourselves in our limited expression trying to fit in and hope we will be loved by our parents by making choices based in fear and belief or do we sustain our authentic self who makes choices based on love, intuitive knowing, and walks in a love relationship with the Mother? And what if what sustains us is our ability to embrace what comes our way and to love what is? And what if that sets us free?

We will answer these questions through ceremony and ritual. 

~Storytelling Council- Sharing your roots

~ Feeding the Ancestors

~ Feeding Ourselves and one another

~Making of the Ancestor’s House …Ritual burning & letting go of what no longer serves us.

~ Forgiveness Ceremony 

~ Ceremony under the great Oak as we honor and feed our Ancestors as well as ourselves to find our deeper roots.

~Sacred Fire( weather permitting) ~     Drum, Dance, Chant

We will end our time together in joy and celebration of all the gifts that have come into our lives …making way for the abundance to come…learning the truth that we are needed and loved every day. 

Our Ancestors are always with us…we are the ones to remember and honor them so we might work with the Seen and Unseen worlds as we walk on the beauty path.  We are never alone.

Any questions about the gathering …
