A Beacon of Hope On May 2nd, The REED Center & Mettā Creative safely and cleanly hosted organizers of Catharsis on the Mall to build, live stream, and burn a ceremonial beacon, standing in solidarity with Vigil Beacons throughout the Washington DC region as a part of Catharsis on The Net's 'Online Vigil'.
Adorned with flowers, The full-size grandfather clock, procured and reimagined by Catharsis on the Mall Trunk Member and Metta Creative's Minister of Magic, Sha Golanski, represented so beautifully the current state of the world. Distanced from the usual pace of life, we watched, the burning of time, sharing the moment with thousands of peers around the world, through cyberspace. Many participants chose to fill out a form online, communicating things they wanted to let go of, or things that inspire joy and hope.
These verbal energetic offerings were all printed out and burned in the Ceremonial Beacon as a method of offering Cathartic release for our extended community. Inevitably, we all burn time, consciously or unconsciously. Some of us have been graced with more time on our hands, and some of us have felt drowned by the minutes that have run out...
No matter our situation, the Beacon of Hope presented us with an opportunity to look inwardly and offer meaning as we experience the whirlwind of emotions of elemental energy.
For more information about the vigil and the organization, visit Catharsis on the Mall And stay in touch with Metta Creative as they continue to connect and inspire communities around the world through transformational experiences. @mettamakers
