June Community Healing Ritual - WATER

For the June Community Healing Ritual at Kinstone we will gather at the Pond and create a rich and inviting shrine to learn from the shape-shifting wisdom of Water.
Water wisdom brings us guidance in times of uncertainty. It teaches us to change shape, to adapt, to melt, and to flow with peace or with rage as the situation requires.
Author Margaret Atwood says, "Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
To prepare for this ritual connect with the rivers and lakes near where you live.
Optional: Wear clothing that can get wet or bring a change of clothes to wear into water.

Cost: These rituals are donation based + the entrance fee to Kinstone ($10). Our hope is to keep these accessible to any who are feeling the call to community and nature-based healing. If the cost of entrance to Kinstone is prohibitive, please reach out, we have a scholarship fund for those in need.
“Ritual is called for because our soul communicates things to us that the body translates as need, or want, or absence. So we enter into ritual in order to respond to the call of the soul.”
