Led by Satyena Ananada
November 17, 2011
A long-standing tradition of the Women’s Interfaith is to gather in the fall of the year to share the blessings of our harvest and to enrich our lives with the power of gratitude.
Please join us as we experience an evening of:
Inspiration, Connection, Ceremony, Prayer, and Song.
This year we will be focusing on our Spiritual Harvest: gratitude for what has been~what we have received~what we have learned~how we have grown~the gifts we have given~the joy we have known~the strength we have called upon~the challenges we have conquered~the love we are harvesting.
We are living in intense transformational times! This evening will provide the opportunity to join our hearts and our forces to call down a Blessing on the Human Family, our Mother Earth and all life.
Please bring:
~ Simple foods that nourish and delight the body
~ An object for the gratitude altar that represents the blessings of your harvest
~ A short written paragraph about what you are spiritually harvesting
