Revived Community - Earth Celebration Gatherings

Please RSVP here for location information.

The intention of these gatherings is to come together as a community to celebrate the Earth, share our expressions, gather in prayer, and honor the Earth and all she does for us.

I created these events because I have seen the immense transformation and value in my life from cultivating an intentional relationship with the Earth. This is my way of giving back to her, and sharing some of the medicine she has offered me with others in my community.

There are so many ways to honor the Earth. It was important to me in my creation of these events to center community and the idea of a "gathering" rather than a workshop or even a ceremony.

Even though I am facilitating this space and sharing with you some of what I have learned about connecting with and honoring the Earth, my intention is for this to be a collaborative space where you are invited to share your unique perspectives and expression around how you connect with the Earth, or how you would like to connect with her. If you play instruments, write poetry, or would like to share some art, please do so!

These are free-to-attend monthly gatherings from June through September.

You are welcome to come to any or all of them that work for you and your schedule.

After September I may carry these forward to a virtual setting for the colder months.

Each of the four months from June-September will have a loosely-held theme to orient the practices, medicines, and offerings around.

#### Themes

June 22, 2024 - Grounding, Physical Connection with the Earth, Rooting.

I will be sharing some ginger tea to connect with the medicine of rooting and we will do a grounding practice, and work with the element of Earth & stone.

July 20, 2024 - Intention & the Mind ~ Breath & the element of Air

I will be offering some herbal tea from Peru and we will begin by sharing some intentions, working with the breath & our intentions, and doing some reflective writing & sharing.

August 24, 2024 - Expression, Spiritual/Energetic Connection with the Earth, Dance/Movement

I will be sharing some Cacao medicine from Peru to help open our hearts and our spirits to courageous and playful expression. We will be working with the element of fire, but since we cannot have an outdoor fire where we are gathering, we'll be connecting to the SUN instead :)

September 21, 2024 - Reciprocity through offerings, giving back to the land, and working with the element of water

We will pray with sacred water, explore the concept of reciprocity and giving back to the land, and visit with the creek. I don't know if there will be an offering for this day other than water, we will see ;)
