Ceremony on the Land

"Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel in prayer."
~ Rumi

Ceremony is our soul’s prayerful expression of presence, awareness, and truth.  It commands our presence, pulling us into the present moment.  In that holy moment, there is no where else to go, nothing else to be.  It is a moment of deepest prayer when we come home to our center, our Source.  Our real power emanates from a force that is in us, but not of us. Spiritual practice heals us, bringing light to our regions of darkness. Dropping our illusions is a healing in itself. Within each of us there is a core - our essence, our true being. That is the place of God who is within us. Revealing that essence is our return to God. It is the purpose of our lives, and even our most painful experiences can serve that purpose.

In Ceremony on the Land, as we enter the dwelling places of this land, we are entering an inner doorway of our souls.  The Hopi call it tu'wanasaapi, the place of belonging - the centering place. We become one with the Earth in ceremony as we move through our interior tabernacle with intention, forgiveness, surrender, and rebirth.  We speak our truth in a sacred talking circle. We hear the voice of Divine Love resonate within us as we enter that Divine Indwelling and listen.  And in that listening we hear our remembering, the Knowing that lives in us all.
