Ceremony for the New Year
Tuesday, January 14, 2–4pm
People’s Place Wellness Empowerment Center
Set your intentions for the New Year and release all that is no longer serving you.
Stepping through the gateway of New Year,
We gaze into what is becoming.
We cast off and honor the completions of the old. We dance with the New.
Our ceremony will embrace the new
In its fresh vitality, integrating a number of traditions from diverse cultural and spiritual practices.
The ground of being for our spiritual lives is rooted in ritual.
Ritual is a way of remembering...re-membering, becoming embodied in time and space
We mark specific events with an experience that honors & consecrates transitions
Of life, of time. We do ceremony as a way of remembering our connection to infinite source.
Together we will:
Step through the Gate of the New Year
Break open pomegranates, savoring abundance while saving the seeds
Follow the Star of our vision with a Family Constellation exercise
Dance our winter dream with the Bear
Free & Open to the Public
Offered in collaboration with Holistic Health Community & People’s Place Wellness Empowerment Center.
