WHITE STONE CEREMONY
This past Sunday was our traditional White Stone Ceremony. For those of you who weren't able to share in this event, we wanted to give you a brief sample of Rev. Wendy's comments.
It's the first Sunday of this brand New Year of this brand new decade and we get to spend it together...we get to be open to a guiding word ... we get to support one another in creating a vision and setting an intention for the New Year...
...when we celebrate this White Stone Ceremony together, we are asking for a method, a way to expand ourselves, to increase our sense, our capacity so that as we go through this new year, as we move toward the goals and dreams that we have set for ourselves, we will have a practice that we can involve ourselves in that will help us look at the opportunities we experience as well as the challenges that will cross our paths with an expanded sense of ourselves.
The idea of the White Stone is the idea of freedom and release...free from the past and being given permission to start over... to have a blank piece of paper on which we can write or have written that which is going to be our guiding focus for the New Year...
Rev. Wendy will guide you to find your personal spiritual practice for this year
