Sacred Corn Circle

with Pam Medina

Mawaté is an Apache word meaning healing. A Circle is never-ending.
Mawaté teaches and reinforces our connection to All That Is by providing a visual and visceral experience of Oneness. During Mawate, we sit, stand, or lie in a circle, joining together as one, praying, singing, moving, breathing, drumming, and making offerings to Earth, Sky, and the Great Mystery/Cause/Source of all life.

We use sacred cornmeal to honor our blessed place here on Earth at this moment, the vastness of the Galaxy, all genders, colors, faith, nations, and forms of Love, the 8 People (Two-legged, Four-legged, River, Sea, Winged, Seed, Tree, and Crawling People). We sing, drum, rattle, and sometimes dance to celebrate, revel, and unite our energy with these forces, calling upon all Seven Directions (N, E, S, W, Above, Below, and Within). There are moments for silence, for prayer, for sharing, for questioning, and for communing with Nature, each other, and ourselves. The ceremony is alive, though it has a basic structure; that structure can change, expand, and be spontaneous, just as actual Cosmic Life Energy flows.

A love donation to Unity is welcome.
