The Fall Equinox is the season of harvesting the fruit of the seeds planted in March. In Celtic mythology it's known as Alban Elued which means the Light of the Water. During the Autumnal Equinox we're reminded to turn to the light within and to keep that flame lit.
Donna Day, director of the Venice Peace Project, leads the meditation on Friday evening. Donna weaves International Peace Day into the ceremony of the Fall Equinox, seeing the harmonies of Peace across both festivals. Donna is an experienced meditation leader and champion for Peace on Earth. She's author of the book, Sanctuary of Peace where her photographs anchor her messages of Peace.
The meditation is ONLY ON ZOOM. Please join the online community at 6:30 pm. Meditation begins at 7 pm.

WHAT TO BRING:
Bring a chair upon which to sit, drums or rattles to shake or beat, bug spray for safe keeping, water for thirst, some money to donate for upkeep of the Labyrinth, and wear your colorful, comfy ceremonial clothes. We will drum, chant and earth dance our way around the fire in this celebration.
FALL EQUINOX:
Equinoxes mark a time of balance with equal hours of light and dark. From now on, the days grow shorter and cooler and the nights longer.
We open this Fall Season in the Western Gate of the Medicine Wheel, marking a time of completions following the Harvest. What we have sown, we now reap. We celebrate our bounty, lessons and achievements.
This is a time for revaluation and give-aways. It is known in native circles as the "Looks Within" time. It asks us to withdraw into the silence within ourselves for answers and revelations, and to trust the process.
In Native American traditions, the Gate Keeper for the Fall time is the "Father of the Winds," represented by the great Grizzly Bear. Old bear teaches us about "going within" as s/he prepares for hibernation. We can think of this time as a time for meditation, withdrawing ourselves from the chaos and tensions of everyday life. West is the home of the Thunder Beings; the Element is Water. The Color of the West Gate is the color of darkness, of night, black or navy blue. It is said that the wise ones, the guides and shaman stand behind the veil of this gate and are always there to help us when we ask.
Saturday's ceremony will honor these qualities. Together we will hold sacred space for the power of love and light to transcend and infiltrate all beings on this planet and that we may emulate the path of respect and forgiveness for all beings, including ourselves. It is time for us to connect deeply with one another, the earth, the oceans and all people.
Rev. Zan Benham, Butterfly Deerwoman will be officiating this event. Unity offers us the use of its Labyrinth.
In the "Looks Within" time we release our grief and dance to our own inner heart drum beat.
With blessing of Light,
Love and Ease for all,
Rev. Zan

“Like the air you breathe, abundance in all things is available to you. Your life will simply be as good as you allow it to be.” Abraham Hicks
We enter the fall season on the west gate of the Medicine Wheel, marking a time of completions, after the Harvest. What we have sown, we have reaped.
In the Western Gate we face the sunset, the time of withdrawal into the darkness of the night. It is a time of revaluation and give-always. It is called in Native American circles, the time of the "Looks Within". It asks us to withdraw into the silence within for answers and revelations, and to trust this process. This journey takes place around Halloween, a time when it is said that the veils between the worlds are thinnest. The question here arises, "who would you wish to meet and hold discourse with on the other side of this veil?
In Native American traditions, the Gate Keeper for the Fall time is the "Father of the Winds", the great Grizzly Bear. Old bear teaches us about "going within" as s/he prepares for hibernation. We can think of this time as a time for meditation, for withdrawing ourselves from the chaos of life. West is the home of the Thunder Beingsand the element is Water. The color is of darkness of night, Black or Navy Blue. It is said that the wise ones, the guides, allies, and shaman stand behind the veil of this gate and rejoice when we ask for their help. This date is a very auspicious time for a Shaman Journey.
A SHAMAN JOURNEY is similar to guided meditation enhanced by the heart beat of the large mother drum. The Journey will take us down and out through the dimensions of our imagination where reality and dream time interweave into a perfect tapestry based on your own special rhythms, understandings and frequencies.
We travel together into our own shaman's dream for our own personal guidance and discovery. This is an adventure and exploration into realms where information, messages, connections and relationships magically unfold.
Through the reverberation of the drum, inner gateways of frequencies open our sub-conscious mind helping us access guides, totems and insights for healing and understanding according to our own individuals need.
The Journey itself is approximately 30 to 40 min. The rest is preparation and processing.
WHAT TO BRING
Rising Tide International provides, yoga mats, bolsters, blankets and pillows and you may wish to bring your own for your comfort. Also bring something with which to cover your eyes for darkness and bring a spirit stone or rock, ( one which calls to you.) It will become your Wotai stone, or Sacred Stone and hold the experience for you. Those who have journeyed with me may have one already have one! Bring a pad and paper to notate your Journey, while it is still fresh.
Please RSVP with Rev. Zan, ButterflyDeerwoman in advance!

A Personal Note From Rev. Zan:
This is most likely the last Reiki series I teach, as retirement
seems to be calling me. I will teach this final one, as I have
had some requests of late, and because teaching Reiki,
and watching the students evolve is one of my
most favorite things to do!

___________________________________
REIKI is an ancient form of hands-on healing, whose roots go back to Siddharta Buddha, and the India-Nepal border in 620BC. Modern day REIKI was brought to the western world by Dr. Mikado Usui in 1922.
The word REIKI is two Japanese words, REI which means "Divine Source or Higher Power" and KI, means "Life Force Energy."
Reiki classes are spiritual journeys of breath, sound, meditation, chants, history, practices, working with Chakras and intention to help us overcome our mindset limitations. Once out of the way, they open a gateway for healing. In Reiki we are working with the "healing energy," that is available to all humans. We study symbols brought forth by Reiki Masters a long time ago from spirit, connected with symbols, forms and breath. The study of Reiki is a powerful path of initiation into this ancient, wondrous, healing art. This is also a study of the "Light" that we are.
The planet needs a many Reiki Masters as possible, at this time in our evolution, to spread light, love, peace and goodwill.
