"Dancing and Daring at Lunasa!" Sunday, August 2, 10 AM,
On-Line Celebration Service with Rev. Mellen Kennedy
Lunasa (Lughnasa) is the Celtic midsummer holiday celebrated on August 1st, the halfway point between the Solstice and the Equinox. Last year, I had the exquisite pleasure of going to Ireland for the first time - a dream come true! On this journey, I experienced a profound connection with the people, the land, the language, the music, the books, the heritage and the inherited wisdom and trauma of my ancestors. Understanding prejudice, migration, servitude and enslavement through the lens of racialized trauma was a profound and unexpected gift of this journey. Join me as we try to understand our modern American our multi-racial, multi-cultural experience. A discussion facilitated by Rev. Mellen will follow the service on the subject of Ireland, racialized trauma and whatever is on your heart of mind.
