LIGHTING THE PAROS BEACON FOR WORLD HARMONY NOVEMBER 2023
Friday November 24th 2023 19:00
Last week, a random group of people ended up around my dinner table and we agreed that we would like to invite a small group of like-hearted friends to symbolically light the first Paros Beacon at 19:00 on Friday November 24th.
The Paros Beacon was then be lit as:
1) A iconic symbol for connection and a proactive gesture towards world harmony.
2) A synchronistic vibration-raiser amongst friends around the world on the same timeline.
3) An opening salvo to inspire a new type of pop-up festival on Paros island.
The Paros Beacon was lit in a shamanic fire ceremony by Jessica Mallock, an Artist, Shamanic Practitioner, TRE (tension & trauma release exercise) Provider, Mentor, Creative Guide and Grandmother.
“We gathered together to make a fire as a community. Calling in sacred space, the ceremony is a movement meditation and a simple and beautiful way to let go of anything that is getting in the way of you stepping into your life. As we stood in circle we also made an offering to pacha mamma, mother earth who’s belly we live on, the fire then became The Children’s Fire. This is where we dream a new world into being around world harmony, one not informed by the past but informed by who we are becoming. So we leave something more life enriching and beautiful for the future generations.”
We invite you to send invitations to friends you know around the world at solstice and equinox to join us by lighting a small fire or a candle at the same time.
THE BEACONS IDEA
It’s high time we reclaimed the idea of Beacons. Instead of using them merely for the celebration of royal occasions, anniversaries or such other star-spangled ceremonials, let’s re-ignite them as signals for significant connection and celebration, of the universal desire for more harmony and peace in the world. The Beacons will bring light to this sense of connection and universal commonality between us all, whatever the beliefs, borders or prejudices.
May the Beacon lighting around the world be a spark for global connection.
Most of all, it's a prayer for World Harmony. Here is Lucy Hill singing her prayer
Paros resident Boho says :
"On the enchanting island of Paros, we came together to host a truly special event—an intimate gathering of souls for the inaugural "Light a Beacon" Together for Peace and World Harmony. This unique assembly featured its first-ever shamanic fire ceremony. Our collective intention was to bring forth a new world—a realm where people step out of their homes and into a space of unity, prayer, and vision for a better tomorrow.
The night was rich with magical conversations, open hearts joining together in the enchantment. This experience marked the first of its kind on Paros, with many more magical gatherings to follow. Follow the magic within.”
