ONLINE: Full Moon Meditation for Peace

The Greenlake Grove welcomes you to the monthly Full Moon Meditation for Peace--online. Dial in from anywhere in the world. All are welcome regardless of experience or affiliation. Please join us online for a time of simple chanting and stillness. 

Druid Prayer for Peace: Deep within the still center of my being, may I find peace. Silently within the quiet of the Grove, may I share peace. Powerfully, within the greater circle of humankind, may I radiate peace. May there be Peace throughout the whole world. 

Bring your Intentions: As is consistent with the OBOD tradition, we gather for a Full Moon Meditation on or around the Full Moon each month--for this 30 minute stillness meditation. Nicole hosts and Ruth assists. We hope to see you there! 

Join Online via GoToMeeting: Full Moon Meditation. It's easy to join meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

From the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids: 

Druidry has a great respect and reverence for places that are ‘in between’ worlds. The seashore is one such place, where the three realms of Earth, Sea and Sky meet. There is great power in places such as these. It is the time of greatest light when the Solar God is crowned by the Goddess as the King of Summer. It also brings some sadness because from now until Alban Arthan, the Sun’s strength is declining and we have entered the waning year. For some this is the time of the Dark Twin, or Holly King, who is born and will take his crown at Alban Arthan. Of all the festivals Druidry is mostly associated with Alban Hefin. The wonderful white-robed figures filmed at the dawn rituals at Stonehenge are testament to this. However, to many Druids it is the turning seasons and the cycle of life, death and rebirth – reflected in the Wheel of the Year in its completeness – which are significant
