7. Saturday September 22 Lee Carroll will be visiting Saskatoon, he channels Kryon, spiritual information that many resonate with, myself included. Contact Doug Martin at doug@stalmar.com or go to www.stalmar.com/kryon .
8. Sunday September 23 will be an evening event as a follow up to Doris Larson's event that is as follows:
The river and the fall equinox are the focus of this event. The seasons of life, acknowledging that everything is impermanent, not even for a second, is the theme. I’ve invited the meditation community and the public at large
to join me in the creation of a community shrine in the boat launch area behind the Mendel on September 23rd. The community shrine will be a collection of the small shrines made by individuals and participants in shrine and flag-making workshops. For information about participating in the workshops contact Doris at dwlarson@sasktel.net.
Under the boat launch canopy will be a video projection and installation about the changing seasons in a river valley which acts as the focal point of the occasion. The site will be lit with paper lanterns (and street lights) and decorated with small coloured memorial flags.Traditionally, events like this and the Festival of All Souls honour loss and the dead. In the final ceremony when we take away everything we have made, we remember and honour the dead and the passage of time. I hope this event helps us to accept the inevitability of continuous change, acknowledging that it causes not only loss but also recovery and growth.
On the evening of September 23rd, the community will celebrate our remembered past and then let it go. This evening ceremony will include drumming, flutes, and chanting. Participants and viewers are welcome.
9. Friday October 19 and 20th Bridgepoint will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary:
