CENTER FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING SPIRIT CREEK

THIS WEEKEND OF SPRING EEQINOX WE RECEIVED A SPECIAL BLESSING BEFORE WE CLEANED UP THE CREEK. THERE WERE ALL AGES WHO JOINED THIS GROUP. THEY OPENNED WITH SAGE CEREMONY WITH THE BEATING OF A DRUM. THEY USED A LARGE SAGE INCENSE IN AN ABALONE SHELL. I HELPED INSTRUCT THE KIDS ABOUT POISON OAK, SOAPROOT, ACORNS AND BUCKEYES AND HOW WE USED TO USE THESE PLANTS IN PREHISTORIC TIMES. I ASKED THEM QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THE LEAVES AND PINE CONES WE ALL HAD FUN AND GOT SOME EXCITEMENT . SOME TEENAGERS WALKED BY AND WERE DRINKING BEER AS WE WERE CPICKING UP ALL KINDS OF TRASH. WE EVEN FOUND A GROCERY CART INTHE CREEK!, THERE WAS A BIOLOGIST THERE WHO WAS TEACHING THE KINDS ABOUT SOME SMALL INSECTS AND WATER CREATURES HE CAUGHT IN A CONTAINER. WE ALL HAD FUN AND MET NEW PEOPLE.
