Creating Beauty in Nature
Journey together among sisters in this earth worship series.
We gather in nature in different sacred sites around Humboldt county to make ritual and offer sacred payment to our Mother Earth.

Later the ceremonial procession begins in song and prayer, journeying to the ritual site.
