Children’s Rituals Child Friendly (5-11) with Parent.(with Bretton Dabous). Join us for a series of engaging and immersive rituals where children will explore the magic of the five elements: Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit at the elemental shrines. Through storytelling, movement, hands-on activities, and shared experiences, young participants will connect with each element in meaningful and playful ways. Each ritual offers a unique opportunity to learn, create, and celebrate, culminating in a special labyrinth walk that ties all the elements together. A joyful and sacred journey for ages 0-12 and their caregivers. Sirius Rising: Each day at the Shrines at 5:00 p.m.
Sacred Grove Construction. As we take this day to honor and connect to Earth, those who feel called to her, please join us to begin the Sacred Grove planting by digging into Earth, harnessing the authority and ability you will be granted to make meaningful change in your community. We will engage in prayer of permission from Earth and bless the space and soil, dig the holes for the trees to be planted, and use the soil to bestow sacred marks on ourselves to carry her strength, power, and authority to do good throughout the day. Attendees will be given the opportunity to place the trees at tonight’s main ritual. All Welcome. Sirius Rising: 1:00-2:30 p.m. THU, July 24 North Pavilion
Earth Ritual (times below) – The Foundation of Empowerment. Earth represents stability, grounding, and growth. This ritual emphasizes that empowerment arises from shared strength and the collective support of the community. Today we honor and connect to Earth: stability, structure, nurturance, growth, community, home. We would love you all to join us at this evening’s Earth ritual where we will be engaging in stewardship, empowering the Earth shrine and each of us who visit it with the magic of trees. We will plant a tree as a community. All Welcome. Earth Shrine (by North Pavillion)
