Grasshopper will explain the Pipe, Sage, and Water Ceremonies; Kit Wilson, Nancy Masland, Ilsa Swihart, Terry Bourne will share and reminisce. A New Moon Ceremony is planned for our first night together.
On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings, the early risers will share in Margarita’s Mending the Hoop movement, followed by Sue’s meditation, and then a yoga stretching session led by Sarah. Small circles meet daily, of course. On Friday afternoon, Cathy will organize the Open Space discussions/workshops. Topics already suggested are flute, reiki/energy healing, and Sacred Activism. Friday evening brings the Sweat Lodge; at least 18 participants will be ready for that cleansing and renewing experience.
On Saturday afternoon, we celebrate the Elder’s Circle and Memorial Ceremony. A few experienced GMs will be invited to host aspects of these events. After dinner on Saturday, time to PARTY in the Ceili Circle. Extravagance is the key word here; be ready to open up and SHARE who you really are!
On Sunday, the Small Circles will close in the morning session. The Closing for the Big Circle is held before lunch. Again, Weaver Blair will officiate, and we will move with gracious gratitude from this sacred hoop of light and love, from this sacred space back to our lives in our individual worlds. Peace to all as we plan, prepare, and personally ready ourselves for the AZ Council of Grandmothers 2018 Gathering.
