Enter 2025 from a centered place of peace. Release the energies of the last year, and set a harmonious tone for the year to come. Sacred Space will be held from 6 to 8 pm in the Sanctuary of the UUCF.
Attendees are invited to move through the Elements, releasing the shadows of 2024 as they go. Elemental Guides will be available at each Quarter to offer a way to move into the energy of a new year. End your Purification journey with a time of reflection and meditation to receive any messages for the new year.
This ritual is an opportunity to move through Sacred Space. As such, there is no set start and finish time--it does not have a formal ritual structure. Your journey will be self-guided. We will hold the space open from 6 to 8 pm, and you should expect to spend somewhere between a half hour to an hour on your journey.
Please remember that this is a very popular ritual. There is a single path to follow, so at 'peak' times (generally around 7 pm), there can be a line. Please plan to arrive early or after the 'peak' and please be patient with the process of the people around you.
All are welcome to attend. Silence is held for the duration of the ritual, so please use your judgement about appropriateness for children.
Donations are appreciated, but never required. Your presence is what truly matters!
