Come and celebrate the Summer Solstice at the Salisbury Centre in Edinburgh, on the longest day of the year

After an all-day programme of workshops and taster sessions I will be holding a Sacred Fire Ceremony.

We will gather and focus the energy of the day into a Sacred Fire, welcoming the spirit of the Grandfather fire and the ancestors. A short ritual will enable all members of the community present to place their intention and energy into the lighting of the fire.

The Ceremony will be held within a Sacred Space and participants will have the possibility of sharing their reflections, prayers, writings, songs to the fire, in front of the whole listening community.

The latter part of the ceremony will be opened up for sharing songs, poetry, storytelling into a more informal context.

I will share the Fire Keeping practices that I learnt along my travels in Central America and South America, sharing some ceremonial chants from Lakota and Wexarica Tribes, as well as way of praying with Sacred plants like Cedar, Tobacco and Copal from other South American indigenous traditions.

All welcome to this fire, the heart of the community.
