Activities
Wednesday Evening
Opening Ritual, the Lighting of our Eternal Flame and the Blessing of the Drum Circle ~ Everyone is welcome to come and participate in the building of our Sacred Space. We will be casting our eternal circle, call the quarters, invite the Lady and Lord, and bring forth the spirit of festivals past as we light the Eternal Village Fire. This is our beacon of light and the symbol of our coming together until we extinguish and dismiss it at the end of our festival.
Please bring Percussion, wind and string instruments. Chanters and dancers are encouraged to attend. This ritual will bring into our circle, the elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth to join us in our music and dance. Come prepared to feel the blessings of sound, fire, movement, comrades and the Universe. We will ask that we are watched over and blessed at this place of gathering, to enrich each of our experiences, to guard our trances, and give strength to our drummers and dancers. We will celebrate the gifts of the elements by partaking of their manifest forms as we dance, drum, and chant the night away. Filling us with the joy of phamily and blessing of community.
Make sure you don’t miss the Opening Ritual After Party.
Thursday Evening
Song of the Bard ~ The Bardic tradition has been with us for eons and is a time of gathering and sharing of stories, song, and laughter. It is an acknowledgment of the older times when, around the campfire or at the hearth, community comes together to sing, dance and tell stories. We are sure everyone has something to share or just the need to relax and enjoy the sharing of others.
