Moon Rising Ceremony and Blessing Calling to Sprit Keepers of the East, South, West, and North

Friday, May 17, 2013, guest artists: Alpha, Caryl, Happy, and host Anita walked down to the installation being created around the Grandma's tree, a tree on the property where Anita took her grand-daughters Anisa and Morena to play, swing, and climb upon. This sacred tree is the heart of the installation, where we together will perform a walking meditation to begin the making of our labyrinth /medicine wheel.
