Hosted by Monika Ghent & Michael Vertolli – initiated Weather Workers (Graniceros) in the Nahua tradition of MexicoI will be leading a Traditional Weather Work Harvest Festival Sunday, October 6th, in Maple, Ontario. This is an opportunity to gather in joy and ceremony in honour of the Weather Forces for their precious, life-giving rains that bring abundance and bounty to our lands. It is also a time of thanksgiving and gratitude to the plants, animals and other beings that give of themselves to sustain our lives.
We honour and celebrate this season of harvest and abundance through offerings of flowers, fruit, and bread. Together we’ll create an altar of abundance and gratitude as a feast for the Weather Beings. While the Weather Beings enjoy our offerings, we’ll celebrate with a potluck meal around the fire. We’ll end the ceremony with a closing prayer around 3pm.
Afterwards, people are welcome to stay for questions around the fire about our Weather Work tradition. Michael will also be giving a short introduction to our weather ceremony at a sacred site in Northern Ontario.
The ceremony will be held rain or shine!
Please RSVP to [email protected] if you would like to attend. Attendees will need to bring fruit, bread (sweet and non-sweet), and flowers as offerings as well as a dish for the potluck. Once we receive your RSVP, we’ll send you further information of the day’s events.
