Story & Experience
And Sabine asked me to mention that right in the beginning of a ritual this morning an eagle flew above us. Another blessing from the animal world. All the best. Leila
To honour the earth day today, we hold a special ritual.
We chose this day to inaugurate a new power place of Tamera: on the top of the South Dam. It is the earth dam of the south lake of our rainwater retention landscape—we call the new power place the “cosmic heart”. It is a place for the awakening of the new man: for men who connect again with creation and become co-creators of the new earth.
In the last days some new stones were set on the dam to manifest the power that is there. Today at 10 am the community gathered in a circle on the dam around a fire in a bowl. Sabine Lichtenfels hold the ritual. Four people spoke for the four directions: the East for the rising sun, the south for the wind, the West for the Atlantic Ocean, the North for the Spirit. One prayer was: May fear disappear and freedom rise on earth. In the end when from each direction they poured water into the fire, we were surprised by a short rain shower, very unusual for this season in South Portugal. It felt clearly like the blessing of the elements.
