July Community Healing Ritual - EARTH

For the July Community Healing Ritual at Kinstone we will gather Under the Pines behind the Yurt (see photo posted in the discussion for directions on where to park for this event) and create a rich and inviting shrine to immerse ourselves inside of Earth.
In this setting we will connect with two forms of Earth, the soil (female/ mother) and the tree (male/ father). Earth is our birth right/ rite.
By being born, we belong to Earth and in that belonging, find nourishment, shelter, comfort, and love. Earth can hold the whole self, welcoming us fully no matter what we look, sound, smell, or feel like.
Earth can also take our heaviness, pain, and difficult experiences and compost them into something useful for life.
Earth is in constant unity with the living. This ritual offers a chance to reconnect with the loving embrace of nourishment and to lay down our heavy loads into the loving body of this great planet.
When we come together as a community for healing, the opportunity for transformation becomes magnified by all who are present.
“For it is only from a place of grounding and centeredness that anyone can give something back to their world, to their community. ”
-Malidoma Patrice Somé, The Healing Wisdom of Africa: Finding Life Purpose through Nature, Ritual, and Community
