Reverence for life
This past week we had a death of an elder in our family.
Although recognising life always draws to an inevitable close, losing someone is always hard. Despite it being a “good, long, life” we wish it could have been longer. We wish we could have had more time making memories, or sharing with the person we’ve lost a little more of what made them so meaningful.
The grief we experience, is a reflection of how deeply we love.
Death is an opportunity to observe how we live.
How are we meeting our life with respect to nature, our body, our emotions, the food we prepare and share, loving ourselves, giving of our time + presence to family, community, our neighbours? Are we consciously expanding our hearts, or still closing off to the fullness of our experience by resisting the flow of emotion, are we choosing to live in love beyond our logic and our “Should’s”?
Ceremony is how we offer our reverence for life, as it is now.
Great Nature in it’s beauty way, unfurling, revealing, dying.. .it’s all cyclical - so we bring that to ceremony.
To gather in a safe + sacred way, and pray for our transformation, healing, or dream activation and creative insights.
All is welcome on the altar of the heart.
This Friday I’m co-holding a ceremonial container, and if you are in the lower mainland area - I welcome you to attend.
