Sacred Earth

A communion with our planet through sound; poetry and interactive prayer

Dhyana Center Lofts, Sebastopol*                                       Sunday April 22nd 7pm to 9pm

This Earth day, we invite you to spend a wondrous evening with us in devotion and celebration of our home--to connect and commune with the earth and her life. Together, we will offer a magical space for our prayers and gratitude, weaving a living web of our intentions to honor our planet. We will also invite you into a state of deep communion through an immersion of sound from Tibetan bowls, along with spoken word--evocative, beautiful poems and prose about nature written by some of our most beloved poets through the ages.

Bring an item for the altar of something that represents the planet to you.  Also, pillows and blankets to lay on.

We are pleased to announce our resilient living gift circle, which is a new group for creating our alternative economy and real ongoing mutual support for us in building resilience.

 

    The gift circle is the core of the evening, with the intention to include ways of creating a "Resilience Network" as we evolve.  This means that this gathering will be a place where we can offer what skills we have to share, what we are doing to make ourselves more healthy and happy, emergency preparedness support, gardening and food help, energy sourcing, music and art sharing, and who knows, maybe even barn raising!  

 

    This next circle invites you to come early, from 6:45 to 7:15 for the "gift table" and food/treat sharing table.  The gift table is an opportunity to bring something of yours that is useful or of value that you no longer need. We give and receive from the table our items.  The food/treat sharing is for simple snacks or yummy treats and drinks.(Please no food that needs heating or any kind of kitchen support). This is optional of course.

 

    We are aiming for a no-waste event!

 Bring your own napkins, plates, cutlery or extras for others if you bring something that needs it. We will have tea, hot water and some extra cups (but please bring yours as well).

 

There is a new google group list for this group, where you can post needs and wants between gatherings as well.  You can sign up at:

http://groups.google.com/group/resilientliving

or for more info you can send an email to:

resilie...@googlegroups.com

 

At the circle we will go over the basic format and guidelines and then dive in! This will be a fully participatory evening, so consider what you might want to give and receive.

 

    Your Hosts:

    Julia Bystrova and Mary O'Connor

currently, there are some expenses with creating this event, so we are asking

for a nominal donation of $10 or whatever feels right to you.
