We humans are living through extraordinary times that stretch our limitations into possibility. We can dream of a world in balance where our prayers weave together and manifest the health of ourselves living on the planet. 

Our Dance is the high summer ceremony that honors all the Suns in this Universe and their life giving energy. 

Together, let’s activate prayer with all of Life by preparing, praying, dancing, singing, and drumming.

Our Ceremony, In Community

Some of our deepest remembering, learning and growing comes from being part of this ceremony. Expand our life view while we move with one another in community during this ceremony.

This year’s Dance is dedicated to Sacred Human, being awake and aware of its impact on the world and how we as humans are being impacted by life every day.  

Our Dance Chief WhiteEagle Woman of the Delicate Lodge will guide us through this ceremony.

Preparation

Preparation time is part of the prayer we are building. We create, build and maintain the container, altars, space and beauty together.

No previous knowledge of the Origin Teachings of the Delicate Lodge is required to join. All who feel the calling is welcome.

Drumming

Drumming is an important part of our ceremony. Drum practices are held in preparation, before and during ceremony before the dance begins. Contact the Drum Point to join a Drum Team.

Dancing

When our container is ready, we begin our dance. We dance to the Tree of Life for 45min of each hour when the Sun is up, from dawn till dusk.

Our dance is a way of prayer. Everyone is invited to dance as much as they like. Lead Dancers who have been preparing since the beginning of last winter season, dance for every round, carrying the prayers of all life.

Food

Food is simple during this ceremony as the main focus is supporting our collective prayer. Our food point will prepare light foods to have the experience deeper. Common food sensitivities are taken into account.

Substance Free

For this ceremony, we use no altering recreational substances. We understand the world of substance use has greatly changed and we know this ceremony stands alone with its own altering capabilities, without help from the plant nation.

Our ceremony and the Jupiter Farm are an alcohol and any kind of recreational drug - free zone.
