would like to invite you to join us in this year’s celebration
of life’s passages. You may know us from our drumming; drum building,
or other workshops. You are cordially invited to attend this Rites of Passage Ceremony welcoming fine girls and women as we recognize their new spiritual attunement. They walk in as their old child and on this day they will leave as the architects, defenders, healers and future mothers of our community. This is their day, showing their strength and courage and their dedication to life. Last year we began the Rites of Passage because of a need, we had several parents who wanted one for their boys. In 2003, we created a vehicle that we can use to recognize our like-minded, earth-spirit friends as they transition into one of life’s new phases. Whether it’s the birth of your child or birthing into adulthood, whether it’s marriage or divorce, entering elder hood or awaking to a dream. Theses times can be traumatic and joyful. These feelings need to be shared witnessed and celebrated. This year we are expanding that concept and are recognizing young girls and women of all ages in their transition. Welcome them so we can know them and they can know us. This is their day, showing their strength and courage and their dedication to life. |
We
hope that you will join us for what promises to be a joyful and wondrous
Rites of Passage. We now have 2 women and 4 young girls who want to
be initiated. You can come as an initiate, and experience the power of the experience. You can come as a village organizer and help build the ritual and setting to make this dream a reality. You can come as a village supporter and bear witness to the initiate’s transformation. This is a community-building event in which you play a vital part. It is a part of our greater vision that we come together and celebrate these life changes in each other. By lending support to others in these times of transition, we will in an important way be helping to end our sense of fragmentation and isolation that we all feel from time to time. By lending our support we can help each other tap into their talents and resources that each of us uniquely has inside us. By lending our support we will help each of us nurture the gems of our Self, our Community Treasure Chest. |
