With Myoshin Diane BenjaminRegister HERE.
A special evening to honor loved ones who have died.
Our family and loved ones touch us deeply. Reconnecting to them in our inner life allows us to feel the love, remember their presence, look for healing or find peace.The Sejiki Ceremony has become a tradition at Clouds in Water to answer the call to honor our ancestors and heal our karma. We will start with quiet meditation and a deep listening of our heart. We'll "call in" the spirits with noisemakers, share stories of our loved ones who have died, offer food, and do a lovely service, including traditional Buddhist chants and the special Sejiki Song.
Please bring a photo, a card with the person's name and/ or something the person liked to include in your reflection. We will place them on the altar during the ceremony.
By donation. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
If payment of $1 (the minimum required to register online) is a barrier, please reach out to us at info@cloudsinwater.org1 attendee
