Women's Wisdom; Sacred Agriculture















Sights from our May 16 celebration...
From the parking lot, we followed the "cowpath" to the dining room entrance. There we gathered round the fireplace for a "Hearth Kindling" ceremony.  Sister Carol Bernice had fresh fair-trade organic coffee, tea, breads and spreads available for munching. Forming a circle for a women's seed ritual we blessed seed peas and offered hopes for the women of the future. Then we sorted, innoculated and planted peas in Bluestone Farm's Biodynamic garden beds.

After a fabulous pot-luck lunch, Sr Helena Marie led us in a drumming circle. Passing a seed-filled womb-shaped gourd, Sr Carol Bernice started us sharing our own "seed" stories in The Way of The Council. We closed with an animated seed swap and a visit with the cows.
