12 Noon Fire Communion in the Courtyard - Burning and Releasing



All of us who seek to be conscious and aware regard our experiences as teachers, and we try to discern what lessons we are learning from the things that happen in our lives. Sometimes the lesson is very clear from the get-go, and other times we have to really search to understand the deeper meaning behind some event. While this search often yields results, there also comes a point in the search where what we really need to do is move forward.  Answers may come later in our lives, or they may come as a result of letting go, or they may never come.  [DailyOm]

Welcome                                                                                    Rev. Kathryn Hawbaker      



Chalice Lighting                 Give Light  -Hal Walker

Give light, and people will find a way (3x)-

People will find a way I do believe.



Poem           Rune:  Kenaz        flame, torch, true path      

Rune of fire, not wild, all-consuming flame, but tamed flame, domesticated fire, 

burning torch.

Kenaz represents strength, energy, power, clarity,

as well as unlocking potential, enthusiasm and conquering goals.

Peak of their abilities, senses sharpened- they are burning with passion 

and the will to overcome and learn.

Kenaz helps to break out of the routine and start something new, 

and find the energy to change your life.

Kenaz can illuminate that road like a torch 

so that a person sees their way clearly.
