5 DIRETONAL PRAYER BUNDLE
Be Loved and Honoured: An offering to the expression and potency of Women gathering ~ Magic,Mystery and Memory illuminated. Rise with the Sun and the Morning Star Venus.
Together we celebrate our gratitude to all the Women Ancestors who, with determination and fierce graceful devotion, sought to emancipate our voices; those who reopened our way for our children and future generations. We are standing here because of them.
The offering is a dynamic expression that connects Women in prayer and dance.
Collectively, the women will begin with an offering to the great elemental host of the land the water herself. Calling forth the Udine spirits, “the keepers of the alchemy of water” .
Next they move into welcoming the elemental hosts and animals present to be part of our prayer, drumming & song.
They will then invite all women present to participate in a Power Full Dance and Singing opportunity. They will teach our Women’s Song “Waitika”
Women will have an opportunity to harmonize and play and express collectively and witness the wild of women and sisterhood voices united.
They will finish off with basking in the light of “MIATRU” A 5 Directional Prayer Bundle which has earned 5 Eagle Feathers. Together we will Face each Direction with our Sisters of Rose and Hive Temple Grove, offering their support and healing Magic through drum and harmonies, blessing our passage into this year’s Sacred Village Festival.

KIRTAN & MEDICINE MUSIC CONCERT
Kirtan is a beautiful experience of singing with your community. The chants are usually sung in Sanskrit, the ancient Indian language and are done in a call and response format. With roots in the Vedic anukirtana tradition, It may also include dancing or direct expression of bhavas (emotive states) by the singer. Many Kirtan performances are structured to engage the audience where they either repeat the chant, or reply to the call of the singer.
All this said, NO singing experience is required to get something from this unique experience! I also offer a more secular take on this ancient practice. We certainly are chanting to various Hindu gods & goddesses, but each mantra is really just about love & unity, and not dogmatic in nature. We will also be singing various medicine songs from all over the world, so this is a truly unique and heart-fulfilling experience.
So come, sing, play & dance your way into a more enlightened state of be-ing!
You will surely leave feeling lighter & more joyful!
