spirit in the land and our connection with it. An Earth Circle is
created by a group of people,coming together for healing,
praying, giving thanks or meditating. Please bring along or
locate a natural object (stone,crystal,feather,
shell,etc.) that has meaning for you & can be placed in the
center of the circle for the duration of the ceremony .Hosted by

DANCE VISION FESTIVAL
Walking lightly on the earth in the morning, collecting small
talismans/objects/tokens from the land that have a personal
resonance, we will listen,look and sense the space we inhabit.Going
indoors we will bring to the center of the circle our findings
from the walk(branch, twig, stone, seed, moss, bark) Using the
objects as our teachers, we will connect our hearts and
imaginations to them and weave a reverent dance ritual that
speaks
from each of us back to the Earth again. Hosted by Geordie
EVENING GATHERING
Observing the close
of the day with a Sunset Ceremony at Nobska Point or a Falmouth
Beach.Those who wish may make an offering of song,dance or word.
