Saturday, January 21, Prayer Arrow Ceremony, 4:30-6:30pm, led by Jeanne.  This is our annual ceremony where we empower our goals for the year by making a prayer arrow.  Bring a stick the length of your forearm or smaller and a red cotton piece of fabric to wrap around the stick.  We’ll be writing down our goals, wrapping them around the stick and add some additional items to our arrow to empower and protect it and then wrap ribbon around it to hold it tight.  We will then seal it in the fire on the altar.  You are then to place your prayer arrow in a prominent place at home for the rest of the year.  Those of you who made a prayer arrow last year, bring your arrow with you and open it with us and see what manifested for you in the past year.  Just bring your stick and fabric, all else will be provided.  You can also bring a snack if you would like.  Donation requested.  And you may want to stay for the trance dance to further empower your goals!
