Sunrise Celebration, Saturday, February 18, in Boston, on beginning of the Lunar New Year

SUNRISE CELEBRATION of the BEGINNING OF THE LUNAR NEW YEAR

Saturday,  February 18 , 2012, 6:36 A.M.

WEST END of  BROOKLINE RESERVOIR AT INTERSECTION OF RT. 9 & LEE STREET, near  CHESTNUT HILL AVENUE, BROOKLINE, MA

Family and friends are joyfully invited to the Celebration.  As the sun rises over the horizon,  we will light our candle.  Greeting the sun with song will follow.  Dance of the Directions, Basic Meditation, prayers and offerings are practices we will share. 

Cornmeal will be offered with  prayers that all  beings may benefit. We give thanks to the light of day.

The Sunrise Celebration is a time of  strengthening the community bond and offering thankfulness for the beauty of the seasons' progressions and the seasons' changes. 

We celebrate the planting and seasonal cycle of the Green Mountain Ani Yunwiwa under the guidance of the Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo, who is the twenty-seventh generation  to carry the  ancestral wisdom of the Ywahoo Lineage of the Tsalagi (Cherokee) Nation.

We build our learning together with monthly sunrise gatherings.

 How wonderful that we can practice and celebrate the New Year together! 

PLEASE BRING DRUMS, RATTLES, SOMETHING TO SIT ON, AND DRESS WARMLY!

We look forward to seeing you!
