Monthly Community Healing Ritual - September

Join us for the September Community Healing Ritual at Kinstone, where we gather on September 26 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, at the Dolmen. This session, themed "Tending the Ancestral" and focused on the element of Fire, invites participants to honor their ancestors by creating a rich shrine and receiving their wisdom and support. Bring photos or names of ancestors you'd like to remember.

This ritual, part of a monthly series running from June 27 through October 24 on the fourth Saturday of each month, is designed to be highly participatory and emerges from the collective needs and voices of those gathered. Led by Erica Thibodeaux, MS, LPCC, and inspired by teachings from Dagara Elder Malidoma Somé, it offers a space for community and nature-based healing. No prior experience is required, and everyone is welcome.

To foster a collaborative environment, you are encouraged to arrive with an open heart and willingness to engage with both the Elements and your fellow participants. Alcohol and drug use are not permitted. Participation is donation-based, along with a $10 entrance fee to Kinstone, with scholarships available if cost is a concern.

For those interested in exploring the language of ritual further, come early at 2 PM for a setup session and learning opportunity. This is more than just a ritual; it’s a collective journey into healing and connection with ancestral wisdom.
