For 18 Years, Pele and FireHawk have journeyed from California to Minnesota to gather with the people in a ceremonial way. Last year, for the first time, we held our Fall Ceremony at Camp Onomia.

 

This year, as the Fall Equinox begins, we warmly invite you to come and explore the winds of change and evolving possibilities that exist for each of us.

 

Our meeting and sleeping lodge is situated on the shore of Lake Shakopee. There are many outside places for us to gather and enjoy the autumn breezes. A trail beckons us to the Cathedral of the Pines and the Fire Circle overlooks the lake.

The Context for this Ceremony

It is easy to feel buffeted by the Winds of Change blowing around our world. We may forget, or feel far away from the Sacred Dream of Our life. We may have forgotten the essence Seed of our Life. Some days, the Fire of Our Vital Energy may feel almost extinguished.

And so, once again, we turn back toward our Mother Earth. We place ourselves in her arms and re-kindle the trust we were born into this Life with in abundant fullness.

Autumn is the completion of one of Earth's Grand Stories… a season of harvesting and gratitude, of change and decay and a time to pause and be grateful for all that we are and all that we may become.

As human beings, we live just this side of an invisible membrane separating our day-to-day consciousness from the Mystery of Creation. 

Ceremony allows us to enter into this Mystery.

 The Fall Ceremony invites us to attune and align our story with this "coming to fruition" of our Earth home. As always, we will be weaving together our time alone, our time with one another in community, and, especially, our time with Mother Earth in reflective and supportive relationship.

Generosity is the Spirit of this Season of falling leaves and crisp mornings dancing by the lakeside with a circle of friends, peers, strangers and companions.

We can more easily find our way when we surround ourselves with the ever-present beauty of the natural world as well as the beauty that we have created with our own hands.

We warmly invite you to come and join us by the water and walk together in the fields and forests around the lake. Wonder… discover… remember so that we can all give generously back to Life from our own deepest heart's knowing.

Through the co-creation of ceremony, our mind relaxes and we open and re-awaken to our Original Nature.

Each ceremony begins with a "broad stroke" design, most often guided by a medicine wheel. Our fall ceremony broad stroke is outlined in the video below. The design weaves together Grounding Earth, Flowing Water, Activating Air, and Radiant, Abundant Sun.

Our Principle in Relation with Financial Exchange

Since the first time we experienced Ceremony with Our Teachers, we came to understand that in our current time, the whole territory of financial exchange for sacred work is a delicate one.

Our principle is that finance alone is not a reason to keep anyone from Ceremony. If you want to come to this ceremony and finance is a concern, click the button below and send us an e-mail.

We will connect with you by phone and, together we will see a way for you to take part this year.
