The Fire Ritual

Announcements 
We will be kicking off our new year with a focus on service work. If you live in the area and wish to join us for service oriented projects throughout the year, please join http://www.meetup.com/Volunteer-South-Florida/ Our first event, a meet and greet, will take place on January 8th. For more events, please check out the events page.

Starting in February there will be a weekly audio meditation and teaching available for a $5 donation. A portion of the donation will go towards a different charity organization each week. Funds raised and donated will be tracked on our giving back page.

Daily Reflections
This ritual can be practiced on every full moon. Take out a piece of paper and write down one thing that you did this past month that you were disappointed with. It could be the way you interacted with someone, a goal you set but did not accomplish, a place in which you lost energy or focus on a project, etc. Light a candle, sit comfortably and close your eyes. Hold that piece of paper close to your heart as you breathe in and out. When you feel centered and focused, open your eyes and use the candle to set that piece of paper on fire. Put the paper in your kitchen sink and watch it burn. As it burns, let go of the disappointment so that you may move forward in your life.
