You are invited to an gathering among the trees in Tokai Park to SOULERIZE the season.
Communion commences early morning, 21 September to officially celebrate the arrival of the long-awaited Spring Equinox.
Together we shall attempt to prod a few goddessess ( you know, Ostara, Inanna, Venus and/or Persephone) to unburden themselves from the shackles of winter and emerge Soularized back into the delicious, frothy mouth of Life.
We may even manage to arouse the Creative Self, sowing the seeds of new possibilities onto the threading pattern of existence.
DRESS CODE:
Stylish. Soulemn; ceremonious; or dress-up on theme: perhaps a pregnant woman? Persephone; Hades; Venus. Or just throw on a good suit and arrive in a puff of smoke.
BRING A SMALL RITUAL OFFERING:
For instance: some flowers from your garden; sugar; tobacco; strong alcohol (unopened, as an offering) incense; a flute (you can take that home with you); some chocolate eggs; some real eggs; something that feels sacred to you. Please avoid any plastic that may get left behind.
