Tico Time’s Sangha Festival
Schedule
Opening Ceremony
Join in Sangha, spiritual community, as we take some moments to ask permission and honor the land, acknowledge the sacred water, and call in our ancestors. Take this opprotunity to learn some of the old ways from indigenous advocate, Andrew Eker, and have space held for you to set your own intentions. Grounded and aware of the suffering in the world, we prepare for a weekend of prayer, practice and celebration, not only for our own benefit, but for the benefit of many. Join your prayers with ours in this powerful opening ceremony.
