Mimi Sinclair, Louise Lawarre, and Tracy Jo Small will lead this service
Today we turn to one of our faith sources, the earth-centered spiritual teachings of Native American peoples which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature. AI describes Native American spirituality as not a single, unified religion, but rather a diverse collection of interconnected spiritual practices and beliefs that vary by tribe and region. Common themes include a deep connection to the natural world, respect for ancestors, and the importance of balance and harmony. Many traditions also incorporate concepts like the Great Spirit, guardian spirits, and the sacred circle.
With stories that illustrate native belief systems, prayers and chants that call out to the sacred in and around all of us, we gather for healing and inspiration in community. Special music will be provided by Julie Lusk on the native flute. All are invited to bring a drum or shaker for accompanying chants.
