SUMMARY:Ribbons of Intention Fire Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Ribbons of Intention Fire Ceremony\n\n\n\n\nOctober 4 is the date designated as The Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. On this date each year we remove the ribbons that are tied to the Tree of Intention in the Kinstone Chapel of Creation and burn them in a sacred fire in the Stargazer Circle\, releasing the intentions written there\, to God or the Universe\, to be fuel for their manifestation. This special event is marked by a brief ceremony. \nDate: Wednesday\, October 4  Time: Noon – 1:30pm \n\nCost: admission to Kinstone (pay in advance online OR place your cash payment in the Blue Payment Box attached to the Information Sign Board near the parking areas). \n\nOn this day\, the inscribed ribbons are all removed from the Tree of Intention. We gather at the Chapel of Creation and call down peace for the world and for ourselves as we stand around the newly empty tree. We place a single red ribbon upon the tree as a symbol of world peace.  All present are invited to add ribbons of intention to tree – intentions that will be held in reverence here for a full cycle of seasons until the following October 4th. We then proceed to the Stargazer Circle where we create a sacred space for this ceremony around the fire. We speak of Saint Francis and the significance of his story and how it relates to the Kinstone story. We read stories about him and hear prayers that are attributed to him. We state our purpose in burning the ribbons; we profess our willingness to release attachment to the outcome and express profound gratitude that our needs will be provided for in creative and sometimes unexpected ways.  The ribbons are then put into the fire. As they burn\, all the prayers and all the intentions are released. We end with a prayer of thanksgiving. \nNo registration is required. \n\nWhy this day\, the Feast Day of Saint Francis? \nThe Chapel of Creation is a building created with many beautiful images of our Earth artistically displayed in the walls. The artwork was inspired by The Canticle of Creation or The Canticle of Brother Sun and Sister Moon\, a poem written by St. Francis of Assisi in the 1200’s. He is the patron saint of animals and ecologists due to his overwhelming love of the natural world. He believed that nature itself was the mirror of God. He called all creatures and natural wonders his “brothers” and “sisters”\, or his “kin”.  In this way\, Francis has become the patron saint of Kinstone.  To honor his life and his example of love of creation\, service to humanity\, and selfless devotion to God\, we perform this ceremony on his feast day.

SUMMARY:Ribbons of Intention Fire Ceremony 2020
DESCRIPTION:Ribbons of Intention Fire Ceremony\n\n\n\n\nOctober 4 is the date designated as The Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. On or around this date each year we remove the ribbons that are tied to the Tree of Intention (a.k.a. Prayer Tree) in the Kinstone Chapel of Creation and burn them in the fire pit in the Stargazer Circle\, releasing the prayers and intentions written there\, to the Universe. This special event is marked by a brief ceremony that is free and open to the public. \nThis year (2020) this date coincides with our 8th Annual Autumn Open House. We will begin this event shortly after the end of the Open House. Please consider coming early to participate in the open house and get a piece of homemade pie or cheesecake! \nWe gather around the Tree of Intention in the Kinstone Chapel of Creation to begin this ceremony. All of the ribbons on the Tree represent intentions left there by visitors to Kinstone over the past year. When possible\, the ribbons will have been removed from the Tree prior to the start of this event. If not\, then all those in attendance will assist with removing them. The removed ribbons are collected into a large basket. The basket of ribbons is placed at the feet of the little statue of St. Francis outside the chapel in a symbolic expression of gratitude for holding these prayers this year. \nAll those in attendance may participate in a short service to lift up all those intentions in prayer. Gathered around the empty Tree we will say The Peace Prayer of St. Francis as a single red ribbon with the intention for world peace inscribed upon it is tied to the Tree. A new season has begun! \nAt this time\, everyone present is invited to take a ribbon if they wish\, inscribe a new intention upon it for the coming year and tie it to the Tree as well. \nThe basket of ribbons is then carried with respect and honor to the Stargazer Circle where a fire is already burning in the fire pit. When gathered there\, we create a sacred space for this ceremony around the fire. We speak of Saint Francis and the significance of his story and how it relates to the Kinstone story. We read stories about him and prayers that are attributed to him. We state our purpose in burning the ribbons; we profess our willingness to release attachment to the outcome and express profound gratitude that our needs will be provided for in creative and sometimes unexpected ways.  The ribbons are then put into the fire\, releasing all the prayers\, all the intentions\, to the Universe. We end by saying a prayer of thanksgiving. \nIf you are interested in participating\, just show up. No registration is required. There is no fee.
