Please join in a Harvest of Peace celebartion as we appreciate this precious earth and all its gifts.
Harvest of Peace is one of 4 seasonal Nyida Days (“Nyi” = Sun, “da” = Moon) celebrations in Shambhala that occur on or around solstice and equinox days. Harvest of Peace is a traditional time for Shambhala centers, groups and members to gather, host social occasions and other kinds of events, to practice together and enjoy the fun, conversation and richness of Shambhala community.
Log-in to our virtual program at 11:30 for hellos and check-ins. (Zoom log-in details below.) Bring a recipe, a dish to share (show us your pie online?!), an expression of gratitude, a poem, a song – or bring a friend. We will join the online Harvest of Peace celebration from Shambhala’s Touching the Earth Collective at 12 p.m. Plan to stay a few minutes more for news and updates from the Phoenix Center.
From the Touching the Earth Collective….
Imagine a very very long Wood Dragon table. The center of this very long table is adorned with bowls of peaches, apples, plates of tomatoes, potatoes, creamy cheeses, fresh loaves of sourdough bread, cups of cider, raspberry pies, whatever pasta dish is your favorite, soups, and other potluck offerings. Bountiful flower arrangements drip out of large open-mouthed vases and dried herbs hang from the ceiling, beautifully scenting the air. Thick pillar candles are lit all down the table, casting everything in a rosy glow.
Around this long table are your dear friends, family, kids, new friends and acquaintances – with some dogs sniffing underfoot for food falling off forks… WHAT IS THIS? It is the beautiful, abundant energy of a Harvest of Peace celebration.
Please join The Shambhala Touching the Earth Collective celebration of Harvest of Peace – a harvest of food, friends, and family. This year we are honoring dear friends, by especially inviting all those who attended the Family Camps at our Shambhala Land Centers this past summer.
We will celebrate with a lhasang smoke ceremony, an outdoor guided meditation, offerings of music, singing, and a special guest from Karme Chöling sharing from the garden of eatin’.
We are making peace. Together.
