-------------------------------------------------------
The grandmothers are singing.
The fire remembers.
The owl has always known the way.
Come as you are -- for a moment, for a day, for the whole of it.
This is a living ceremony. You are welcome to arrive, to stay,
to sleep beneath the stars, or to step in just long enough
to be transformed.
The golden thread is real.
It runs through the ancient and the yet-to-come,
and right now -- it runs through here.
