A gathering of Ceremonial Traditions
from the World’s EarthReligions.
Stones Rising has grown beyond a gathering and into a
tradition...of people, family and tribe. Gathered every year to raise the Standing
Stones in Ceremonial Circle.
Something new is happening here, something old, something profound.
A lasting gift from our hearts to the great-grandchildren of those
whose great-grandparents have yet to be born. The Seventh Generation. A
time when you can make your own Commitment to the Circle and create your
own Pathway of Service and Sacrifice.
Walking the Labyrinth, The Pathways of Service, The Procession of
The Stones, The Creation of the Witness Arbors, The Drum Vigil and
Ceremonial Fire Circle, Stones Eve, The Feast of the Corn Mother, The
Ceremony of Commitments, The Rising, The Give-Away, The Feast of the Standing
Stones, The Circle of Consecration.
Five days of Sacrifice, Ceremony and Celebration.
Our Creation of an InterFaith Sanctuary.
A Work of Years... Stone by Stone.
Our Ancestors knew and experienced life as an ebb and flow of
living energy. A proper time of expansion and growth into that which is
outside of ourselves; and a proper time for drawing within amid
hardship... to reaffirm and nurture the center.
When in times of difficulty and travail, it was seen as wise
to journey within and return to the center, to take stock of oneself
and offer Sacrifice for those things most important to us... our Family,
however that may be defined.
And to then provide for the protection of that which sustains
our Families through the time of contraction and need. To make Ceremony
for the Land, to protect and sustain that which protects and sustains
our Family. So that the promise of return might be kept.
And in making this journey of Service to the Center, and
Ceremony for the Land, we will then have cause to Celebrate the Blessings
we still enjoy... and to make our Giveaway. So that the gifts of Family
and Land can in turn become our own gifts and best hopes for Tribe,
Nation and the World.
This is Stones Rising.
