On June 21, 2015, at 11:39 am, the sun is going to be at its most northerly place in the sky. It will also be the longest day of the year.
Ancient peoples all over the world celebrated this important day with rituals to the return of the sun after a long period of darkness. The five animal play is a Taoist Qigong that imitates five animal movements, with four animals representing a cardinal direction and one marking the center.
During this movement ritual we can observe the interaction of the five animals and seasons by imitating their spirits, which can bring us closer to understanding the seasonal cycles of the earth.
Vicki Reithel and Chris Aloia will lead us in this service.
