October Community Healing Ritual - NATURE

For the October Community Healing Ritual at Kinstone we will gather at The Three Witnesses sculpture and create a rich and inviting shrine to immerse ourselves the authenticity of Nature.
In this setting, we will connect with the wisdom and magic of the wild, undomesticated world of Nature.
The magic of Nature lies in its ability to restore balance—not by force, but by gently guiding us back into alignment with what is real and essential. Nature teaches us how to listen without words, how to read the signs, how to be in relationship with all beings—seen and unseen.
Nature reminds us of our original blueprint—wild, intuitive, interconnected. This ritual is an opportunity to step outside of the noise of modern life and listen deeply to what the natural world is whispering to your soul.
When we come together as a community for healing, the opportunity for transformation becomes magnified by all who are present.

Cost: These rituals are donation based + the entrance fee to Kinstone ($10). Our hope is to keep these accessible to any who are feeling the call to community and nature-based healing. If the cost of entrance to Kinstone is prohibitive, please reach out, we have a scholarship fund for those in need.
“Ritual is called for because our soul communicates things to us that the body translates as need, or want, or absence. So we enter into ritual in order to respond to the call of the soul.”
― Malidoma Patrice Somé, Ritual: Power, Healing and Community
During these events, we will come together and create a ritual that emerges from the rhythm of all who are gathered based on the group's current needs, and the guidance and support of the elemental beings of Fire, Water, Earth, Nature, and Minerals.
What gets created in group ritual arises out of the participants voices. Together, we will create something NEW based on the relationships each participant carries with them into our circle from their own inner wisdom that may or may not be already known.
This event is highly participatory. You are asked to arrive with an open heart and mind and a willingness to learn from the Elements themselves as well as willingness to support your fellow participants. Alcohol and drug use are not allowed during these events.
All are welcome. No experience is necessary.
My awareness and knowledge of ritual and my relationships with the elements have been inspired and encouraged by my elders, Dagara Elder Malidoma Somé, and Elder Theresa Sykes Brittany.
