Join us to honor this magnificent time of year as we pause in the balance before welcoming the dark. The energies of the Full Moon will amplify the experience of this precious time and the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition will provide a framework for us to dive deep into What Is through SONG, DANCE, and RITUAL.
The Equinox means equal hours of daylight and darkness of night.
If that were a poem, we would understand it as equal expression of Light and Dark.
If that were a movie, we would understand it as equal experience of Ecstasy and Horror.
From the inimitable Mary Oliver:
Now are the rough things smooth, and the smooth things stand in flickering slats, facing the slow tarnish of sun-fall. Summer is over, or nearly. And therefore the green is not green anymore but yellow, beige, russet, rust; all the darknesses are beginning to settle in. And therefore why pray to permanence, why not pray to impermanence, to change, to – whatever comes next.
Bring:
- a drum or other sound maker
- something to sit on
- a sacred item to contribute to the community altar (will return home with you curiosity
- If you like, it’s traditional to wear black on the top and white on the bottom. If that doesn’t move you, wear something that does.
