“Come gather ‘round people wherever you roam 

And admit that the waters around you have grown

And accept it that soon You’ll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth savin’

And you better start swimmin’

Or you’ll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin’”

~Bob Dylan

I am thinking  ‘stone canoe’ for getting to the other side. And heated stones for a Purification Lodge in Michigan in January all roasty toasty warm, just right for going deep.

In January it is usually cold and dark.  Here is the thing, we are already coming into the Light!  The longest night is behind us.  What did you, are you harvesting from the dark? Is it time to birth yet? All aboard the Stone Canoe to the land of the next turn of your spiral.  

My Sister said tonight that after the shock of the most grievous time of her life, a grief that is the depth and breath of her, when the days became more than eternal tears and heart wrenching loss she was calling on the Creator praying that she did not loose her Joy. ‘Please let me get through the intense parts and then the every day parts with my Joy with me.’

With the Community of this Purification Lodge as our witness, let us go deep, let us go wide, let us go high and low and meet our Joy in these Changing times.

Being Present to the Presence of I-Joy.

There is NO CHARGE FOR CEREMONY.

BRING MEDICINE GIFTS for the Dance Chief, Fire Chief and Fire Crew (4-5) as we do heart/medicine gifting to honor the energy that has been spent on our behalf.  Donations for lodge maintenance are always appreciated. 

NEWCOMERS If you have never been in a Purification Lodge or you have never been in one in the Sweet Medicine Sundance tradition call me so I can go over details with you and respond to all of your questions. 

I look forward to the pleasure of ceremony with you,

Grassflower
