It is with Gratitude to Mother Earth that we gather together on Q’anil, the day of the seed in the Cholq’ij Mayan calendar, May 17th, 2017.  We ask that on this day we all go out into our fields and gardens to welcome the light of the rising sun in honor of the seeds that support and sustain life for all living beings, and for their their regeneration and renewal.

On this day we honor the seeds for the connection they give us to the soil, water, sun, animals, plants, and our ancestors. We honor our ancestors for the knowledge that has been passed. We pray to recall the knowledge of our ancestors that has been forgotten, for the sowing and harvest, for the harmony of all living creatures, for understanding, for the health of our communities and our connections to each other.

The Garden’s Edge and The Bishop Paiute Tribe will bless and plant Amaranth together. Please join us!
