Ceremony-
I love ceremony. It is important to take the time to mark transitional moments of our lives. When we are starting a new phase- like our first moon cycle, marriage, bat mitzvah, moving to a new town, divorce. These moments in our lives are often still marked by some type of ceremony in our culture.
But what about the smaller things?
What about bringing ceremony into our daily lives?
During the Open to Love Dolphin Retreat- I invited everyone to live in ceremony during the retreat.
What if we live our lives in ceremony all the time?
What if everything is a ceremony.
Every day, every moment, everything we do is sacred, holy and ceremonial.
When I flew to Hawaii for the retreat, I had a layover in Maui. I had not been to that island in over 10 years- but the last time I was there I had an intense experience. So, I decided to put closer to that event. What did I do? I offered ceremony and prayer. Yes- right there in the airport. I was traveling with my drum, and the airport is an open aired one- so I walked over to the side where I could see the land, breathe the air, and connect with the earth. I quietly drummed and sang- giving offerings to the land and reconciling the old pains and wounds from the past. No one would have known that I was singing and in ceremony there in the middle of the airport unless you came right up next to me. Even in the middle of an airport- you can create the space to offer prayers and ceremony.
Yes- I offer songs of prayer and ceremony everywhere I go.
I will continue to offer my prayers.
I will walk the path of my destiny- I will follow the red road, the priestess path, the way of the medicine woman.
And anyone who knows me knows- I love to wear flowers and sing.
So this pic is creating ceremony on the boat in Hawaii during the Open to Love Dolphin Retreat.
