Awakening - New Moon Celebration
April 8th
4 - 6 PM
We, indigenous people, have symbiotic significance to solar eclipses. Celestial eclipses are opportunities for reflection, connection with Mother Nature, and spiritual growth.
Our response to solar eclipses is not just individual but deeply communal. We come together in storytelling, rituals, and communal gatherings, all of which remind us of the interconnectedness of all life and the paramount importance of respecting the natural world.
The solar eclipse triggers a response in our bodies. The pineal gland, which regulates our sleep-wake cycle and melatonin production, is influenced by the eclipse, leading to the release of melatonin. This physiological response adds another layer to our experience of a solar eclipse.
Life on Earth continues during a solar eclipse much as it does at any other time. However, we along with animals exhibit changes in behavior due to the sudden darkness during an eclipse and go into "darkness mode." We find witnessing a solar eclipse awe-inspiring or spiritually significant, leading to an "awakening to the highest senses."
We experience a sense of wonder or introspection during a solar eclipse and find it meaningful to close our eyes and reflect during an eclipse.
