Let There Be Light on the Water
Ancient Connections has invited everyone to join Tracy Breathnach on Whitesands Beach on Sunday 26 March, 2-5 pm, to add more light to the lengthening day to help co-create a simple ceremony.
It says: “You will create a palm-sized clay boat, filled with a tiny bundle of native plants, shells and pebbles along with your thoughts, prayers and wishes for those who were buried at this site and for all those who have arrived and departed on this beach throughout history. We will join our boats together with lights to form a circular wave that contains us. The event will end with some Authentic Movement from Tracy and singing.
“All materials will be provided, no making skills required. Please dress appropriately for the weather.
“The event will run throughout the afternoon – you can book a one-hour slot, 2-3 pm, 3-4 pm or 4-5 pm.
“Families with children are welcome to take part. Please add a ticket for every individual in your family. All children must be supervised by an adult.
“Let us gather together to honour the people of this place, along with the people in our own histories who have made long journeys, in physical, mental or emotional ways, to bear us.
“Let us create a container of light together that can hold us for a brief time.”
