Spring Equinox 2010
Sacred Fire Circle

Leeward Oahu, Hawaii
Friday, March 19-21, 2010

Join us in sacred space to celebrate the Spring Equinox!

We will gather around the Sacred Fire to sing, make music, and dance from dark until dawn. Our circles are participatory. Your offerings of prayer, poetry, music, chant and service are welcome. We encourage you to wear colors or costumes that evoke the season. We invite you to help build and decorate the Fire Circle on Friday and Saturday, and we will all join together to clean up on Sunday morning.

We invite you to bring offerings of voice, music, movement, service, art, and expression inspired by this theme.
