ONLINE EVENT
Harvest Moon Ritual
September's full moon also know as harvest moon, is named in honour of the harvest that
takes place at this time of the year.
In Ancient Greece, during this time, ‘Thesmophoria’ was taking place. A harvest ritual celebration festival to honour Goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone. Demeter is the ancient Greek goddess of grain, the goddess of harvest and the symbol of the fertility of the Earth. By celebrating Demeter they were celebrating the fertility of the Earth as well as the fertility of humans, asking the Earth to give healthy and bountiful crops the year to come.
Similarly the time of the harvest is celebrated in all indigenous cultures and traditional communities with different rituals focused on the main subsistence crops such as the corn.
In the Western world we have forgotten the old ways of living in reciprocity with the natural world and we have only learned to take without giving anything back.
We receive the gifts of the Earth as natural resources and not as offerings that are not to be taken for granted.
“Expressing gratitude in your everyday life is a simple but radical way of being that can help you reframe the relationship you have with the Earth, with food but also with your own body. It can help you bring more sacredness and gratitude into your daily life and lifestyle rituals.”
With the opportunity of the harvest time, I am inviting you to an online event to gather together in ritual and connect deeper to the essence of the wheat and the corn, connect to our bodies, connect to the body of the Earth and express gratitude to her for the gifts.
We will honour and bless the grains for being offered to us and thank the Earth for the abundance.
We will practice body meditation, sensorial food exploration and food blessing rituals.
We will connect as one with the Earth, with our bodies and with the food we consume.
We will express our gratitude to the natural world for all that is given.
THE EVENT IS OPEN TO EVERYONE;
MEN + WOMEN
