Women’s Sacred Gathering at the Turning of Year

“Of those so close beside me which are you?” Theodore Roethke

Opening…       Pottery bowls held first and last by our youngest and our eldest

Each girl or woman holds a bowl in her hands and sings her wishes for the new

year

It Begins…       The body grows centered for our sacred dance

We Dance…     Lyrical…Flow…Stacatto…Chaos…Flow…Lyrical…Stillness

We Embrace… Women and girls gather their hearts together in a hug of gratitude

We Join…         Dancing goddesses join hands in a sacred circle as we spin around the room and sing our sacred songs to welcome in the new year

We Close…       Women, men, boys and girls gather together for sacred nourishment
