Will have to experiment with that again. <br /><br />I love that you practice in a sacred precinct. That super localized focus seems really significant especially for this festival. <br /><br />I like to imagine our web of connection too. I'd wager there's an overarching tone for the year too that's felt by community, if we were to compare more notes. That whole microcosm/macrocosm thing.

Eerie and beautiful. I need to remember that idea of not speaking all day on Khoes. <br /><br />I too have celebrated this festival over many years and watched it change and me with it. But I like the idea that it's also setting a tone for the year ahead, and based on my own celebration, I think that has some significance for me this year, as I was drawn to again perform the whole festival in a "sacred precinct" of sorts that includes wetlands and woods and a creek, my own Dionysos en Limnais sanctuary that I've been feeling called to cultivate a stronger relationship with. <br /><br />This remains my favorite Dionysian festival and I love thinking of all of us, spread out around the country (or world!) each doing our own versions but hitting the same salient points.
