Draupadi is a grandmother who has called Avalon home for many lifetimes, carrying with her a rich life shaped by profound and meaningful experiences. As a medicine carrier, she brings a deep sense of wisdom, memory, and reverence for the sacred into her offerings.
In this gathering, she will guide a sacred fire in the tradition of the First Nation peoples, using cedar gathered from the forest in Avalon. In this ancient tradition, cedar is understood as a carrier of prayers, creating a powerful foundation for reflection and devotion.
The experience will also include a deep sharing circle, along with songs and kirtan led by Draupadi. Together, these elements invite participants to open their hearts, connect more fully with inner truth, and offer prayers for loved ones and for humanity.
