Corn Dance:
THE
FALL EQUINOX AND CORN DANCE
Sunday September 18, 2005
On
this day we celebrate the coming of Autumn and that special moment when, twice
a year, the day and night is in balance. We will honor this special time by
dancing our gratitude for all that has been given so that we may continue to
be part of the blessing of life.
The
Corn Dance came to Tom in a dream where he was shown exactly how to dance it.
In the Corn Dance, we are dancing the beautiful everything: the living,
breathing Earth. As we come out of the dream, we spiral into the dance of Life
of which we are all a part.
We
encourage family and friends to take part in this light-hearted, life
affirming dance. No knowledge of dance steps are required; only your
willingness to be part of a community that through dance endows our planet and
ourselves with Beauty, Innocence, and Radiating Light.
PLEASE
BRING: two ears of unshucked corn and rattles, if you have them.
Following
the Sweat Lodge and the Dance, we’ll celebrate with a Pot Luck Feast.
TIME
OF ARRIVAL: 10 am
HELP
WITH WORK PARTY. . We are asking people to arrive at 10 AM to help split
firewood with log splitter, prepare the dance fields, and the sweat lodge
fire. As Joseph reminds us, ‘work is worship.’
