Fall Equinox Fire Ceremony: A Unifying Shamanic + Christian Ceremony

  • McFarland Church of Christ 5710 Anthony Street McFarland, WI, 53558 United States (map)

This is from our 2022 Summer Solstice Ceremony, so please disregard any mention of times & dates

THIS CEREMONY WILL BE HOSTED OUTDOORS. In the very, very rare event that we have to cancel due to extreme weather, the only way to know stay in the loop is to mark “going” on Meetup or Facebook, then check a couple hours prior if the weather looks questionable.

We hope you'll join us for this unifying, unique Fall Equinox Fire Ceremony.

Bryan Sirchio, Pastor of McFarland United Church of Christ and I (Jessica Riphenburg of Be The Light) will weave our spiritual views and practices into this healing, uplifting ceremony.


Here’s the playlist for our 7 part series that dives a little deeper into why we wanted to co-create these ceremonies.

Many of you have asked how a Shamanic Practitioner and a Christian pastor have come together to co-create spiritual ceremonies... Great question!

To shed a little light on how this collaboration came to be, we’ve created some videos. If you enjoy them, please give a “like” and comment to tell YouTube to share the videos with others, will ya? Thank you!

BRING: 

  • Rattle, shaker, or drum if you have one. A bottle with pebbles, dried beans, etc works well too! I’ll have many shakers for you to borrow if you don’t have one of your own.

  • Camping chair

  • Warm layers and/or blanket

  • OPTIONAL: a pen and journal

IMPORTANT

To respect the sacred container of this work, please refrain from alcohol & recreational drugs the day of the event. It’s ideal, but not necessary to also refrain from both for 24 hours prior, and 24 hours after as well.

This ceremony will be hosted outdoors, and will not be canceled unless there is an EXTREME weather event. Assume that we're "on" unless I post an update in the Facebook event discussion thread the day of the event- see here.

This is a free event, and donations are APPRECIATED. THANK YOU!
