"How, in our modern world, can we find our way to understand the earth as a gift again, can we make our relations with the world sacred again?" -Robin Wall Kimmerer
"Here are the taproots; let us draw from the deep." -Yeye Luisah Teish
Join us on Sunday, June 4th for Rooting in the Sacred: Ritual, Community & the Waters of Life with celebrated author, ritualist & spiritual teacher Yeye Luisah Teish, beloved musicians, vocalists & songwriters Honey of the Heart, and soul-stirring voices from the Wildchoir.
We live in a dominant culture that has uprooted its connection to the sacred. What role can ritual and earth-based spirituality play in restoring relationship to our ancestors, each other, the places we live and the more-than-human realms? How can we root our lives in a spiritual interconnectedness and reweave a sense of the sacred back into the heart of our culture? Join us as we gather to experience the power of community, music, song, ritual and the waters of life.
IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL: Oakland & Bay area folks...join us in person and bring a friend. For folks in other locations, be part of the power & magic by joining us live online.
RITUAL INVITATION: For those joining in person, we invite you to bring a drum or small instrument to contribute to the collective ritual we'll be engaging in. For virtual participants, you will receive specific instructions for how you can create your own ritual space and engage in our ritual process from where you are.
WHAT: This event is part of Thrive's Beloved Community Journey, a series of learning, practice and action to create a world where we all belong and thrive. Our theme for June is on "Honoring the Sacred."
