Events > Native American Give Away Ceremony

23 July 2010 7:30pm – 9:00pm
Energy Exchange : RM 50.00

In Native American cultures, the giveaway ceremony is the ultimate act of selfless giving. If you attend Powwows or other Native American gatherings, you’ll always see acts of giving and will observe how the values of selfless giving are modeled and reinforced for all generations. Underlying values of the giveaway entitle keeping one’s belongings to a minimum, sharing abundance with all those around, and showing a great trust that we’re always provided for and taken care of.

All participants must bring a personal item that holds some special meaning to them and they must be prepared to let it go. Listen to your guidance and usually the first thing that you think about bringing will be the right object. Let go and have spirit guide you in the selection process. Join us in this magical experience and observe how every object is truly a medicine object and how when we let them go magic occurs for those who receive them and for ourselves when we let them go. Come and share in the magic!

Here are some tips in choosing a gift to bring:

# Undertake the ceremony in a spiritual manner. If you’re looking to dump your tackiest stuff, then your heart is in the wrong place. The focus should be on the joy that you will bring to others with your gift.

# Take your time choosing what to give away. Go through your possessions and make a connection with an item that you feel you are ready to pass on and share with others.

# Clean the gift. It is important that the gift be cleaned so that it looks and feels like new.

# Gift wrap it. Make it beautiful and unique so that the person receiving it feels special and can feel and appreciate the beauty of the gift.

Each person will choose the gift that they are attracted to. After the person has opened the gift, the person who brought the gift will share with each person what the gift means to him/her. He/she will send his/her wishes and prayers for that person and their family. Feel free to write your story and blessings on paper before you come.
