“I am dreaming back my sisters,
whisper-worn footfalls on the Temple steps,
come home, sisters, come homeâ€
Marie Elena Gaspari, 1999
On Midsummer’s eve, the Lotus Circle presented a community offering of the Dance of 21 Praises of Tara at Marianna Sucher’s Healing Arts Temple, in Orinda, California. The dance was offered both as a blessing for the opening of the Healing Arts Temple and as a dedication to healing the waters of the Gulf Coast and of the world.
The Lotus Circle is committed to offering the Tara Dance in ways that speak to the needs of our communities as well as to the needs of our planet. We feel strongly that our sacred temples are now made manifest in physical form. We fully acknowledge individuals such as Marianna who have chosen to redirect their abundant resources in order to create sacred spaces that benefit the entire community. And like many, many others, we wish to do all we can to imbue the waters of the world, life giving and life sustaining, with the highest vibration of light and healing.
“May the earth, the air, the fire, and the waters of life
flow ever freely through this planet,
in right and perfect balance.â€
