In Gratitude

A

t the beginning of every year, our Italian Lodge, The Dream of the Dolphin, gathers. This January 5th, about fifty people; apprentices and people who are new to the Path gathered in the newly found, wonderful and welcoming space of Rio Selva, near Verona.

This area has two beautiful lakes, and we enjoyed walking through the little forest to reach the purification lodge area. The Fire crew offered their Maku and became familiar with the new ceremonial space that welcomed us, and we created a matrix to celebrate and give our gratitude for all that happened during 2024: experiences of loss and winning, of difficulties met and the joy we felt to have overcome them, of deaths and births. We also spoke of our gratitude for all the things that exist in the 5^th dimension and will manifest in the 3rd dimension during 2025, and of our gratitude to this Path; for how it teaches us to celebrate ourselves, Life and others, and the beauty of being together in special ceremonial moments of the year. We sent this wave of gratitude to all brothers and sisters in the world so that this energy can nourish your dreams too.

The tobacco bundles we created together throughout the day are now hanging from the trees of Rio Selva bringing blessings of gratitude while blowing in the wind.
