The boats with candles and other candles
At the end of the celebration, everyone took a little boat and lit a candle and made a wish and put it in the ocean.
Shambhala Zipolite New Years Celebration
All the people in white with there floral crowns,at the New Years celebration in Zipolite at Shambhala. Gloria puts on the most beautiful celebration. I am so thankful for being able to experience it. Gracias Gloria. Muchos Besos!
Gloria- in the moment!!
I just love this photo. I will fix it in photoshop later(that´s Angel´s head in front), but this is so beautiful. She was so happy and we were all chanting-singing and she was touching(blessing) everyone with the cedar and floral bouquet-wand. It was wonderful and I actually got this photo as it was really hard with out flashing the whole time. This event should be recorded by PBS or National Geographic. Some one needs to come and document this beautiful ritual. It was so inspirational and beautiful. They need proper lighting to do it justice.
Happy New Years, Felice Nuevo Años
Hola Alexandra, Yes I remember you! We went to the most beautiful celebration at Shambhala on New Years! Happy New Years everyone. Muchos Besos.
There were many people in Zipolite for Christmas and New Years but it´s filtering out now.
All is well we had a nice New Years at Shambhala was increble.
First we went up early and made a floral crown, then took some photos, later in the evening we went for the celebration. I wasn´t sure if Angel could sit thru it all but it was so amazing she just loved it.
The celebration is one for all faiths, and there was chanting and dancing and there was a priest/shaman I believe and Aztec dancers and drumming. And we all had candles. I am just quickly explaining and not doing the beauty of the event justice. It was just so wonderful.
Everyone was wearing white and we all had floral crowns, and everyone chanted and it was really fun and interesting and exciting. At the end we went down to the beach and everyone burned the flowers, this is the burning of negative karma past and present and cleansing.
While on the beach, Angel asked this woman(Sophie) que es en su mano. What is in your hand. She had a shaker-rattle thing and she ended up giving it to Angel and asking her to dance. She was the only kid up there with all these other dancers, dancing around the fire. I had tears in my eyes, I couldn´t believe it, it was so magical and special.
Then at the end Gloria had a wonderful dinner but Angel and Charlotte were tired, so we just got out little boats with candles and put them in the water and lit the candles, made our wishes and sent them out to sea.
Well I will write this bettter later for the book but it´s good enough for now.
Thanks so much Gloria for the most awesome New´s Years I have ever had.
It was very spiritual, cleansing and I was smiling and feeling wonderful afterward.
