About the event

Clay is a primal teacher; raw and gritty at the same time refined and supple. This sculptable rock dust under our feet is a miracle of a changing, alive creative planet. As are we, being made of the same minerals of the earth shaped into vessels that hold these life giving waters. May we be fortified and flexible to face the obstacles of our times and incite everyday acts of love, beauty, and peacemaking.

Journey with us as we become the earth, harvest from her, and craft our very own clay cook pots to be fired at the end in a culminating ceremony. We will reflect on how we have shaped our lives, repaired our cracks and fed our dreams and visions, as we prepare to surrender our creations to the fire.

Clay cook pots hold a time-honored place at the hearth of folklore and myth. They are snakes coiled in our hands up from the earth, into the shape of a belly to cook up something potent. Cook pots feed family and community, they breathe under heat and take their time, retaining the nutrients of the foods we are cooking. Across the world and throughout time, cultures have cooked in clay and developed their unique flavors and recipes of their land. Building one of your own is like planting a seed in our ancestral memory as humans.

Fire Walk: Becoming the Vessel

Before our pots enter the fire, we enter the fire.

Through a guided Fire Walk ceremony, we:

• release old patterns that no longer serve the vision we are becoming.

• step into personal power

• Deeply connect with Fire and our Ability to Raise our Vibration

  We prepare the inner vessel before we fire the outer vessel.
