The exact moment of the equinox is September 22, 11:09pm EDT. We'll gather at 7pm, and continue until 11:30pm. Some people may come later than 7; some may leave earlier than 11:30. That's fine. The point is to gather in company and appreciate the turning of the natural cycle. It will be an organized evening, but informal. All who would appreciate this type of gathering are welcome.
I have a vision that Wednesday nights all year could be dedicated to being a home each week for the Holy Spirit Voice in each of us to thrive. Not church. Many of us already have church. Not meditation. Not a seminar. Not boring. The intention is to gather together with joy-filled and wonder-filled activities that bring us closer to each other and to the Holy Breath. (Feel free to translate that name into something that works for you.)
I could use some help fleshing in out this vision, and in hearing which part connects with your heart. Here are some examples of activities I have imagined:
- Breaking bread together
- Studying A Course in Miracles together, or supporting those who are.
- Starting Soil-less Gardens for key areas in life. A soil-less garden is a way of partnering with the supporters of human form and the supporters of human evolution to multiply the effectiveness, balance, and fun in any project. Many of us have big challenges in life that seem stuck. I envision that working together in this way helps all of us un-stick and have fun with these key challenges while moving mountains at the same time.
- Lifting our hearts together in praise-filled song
- Eat fun snacks
- Appreciate the year that is coming to a close. Take stock of what was planted, birthed, grown, and harvested over the last 12 months
- Listen (and maybe pray) together to see whether there is a core of people and a core of activities that might make Wednesday Holy Spirit Nights a reality
- And then, open our hearts to the moment of the equinox itself.
