Hello all,
There hasn' t been a posting for a while so I thought I'd throw one in there.
There will be a community puja for Kali Ma in Stockton, CA on November 25, 2007, hosted by the Maa Batakali Cultural Center (in the Sha'can tradition) from SF and the Circle of the Divine Feminine from Stockton.
From the Maa Batakali site:
"Our ongoing puja, or worship ceremony, is held in our sanctuary space located in San Francisco. We are dedicated in our worship to the Goddess Kali in Her myriad forms, and as She is expressed through the world's various traditions that honor the Dark Goddess, the one who holds the wisdom of the full spectrum of human beingness. Ceremony is held in the Sha'can tradition and lead by one of our Rashani (ordained priestesses). This puja infuses methods and practices from East and West in order to create a sacred space for worship and opening on the path of the bhakta, or devotee of the Divine.
What to bring... Offerings for the main altar are welcome. It is customary to bring flowers, fruit or sweets and to refrain from wearing black to our public rituals. If you wish to wear a special color for Kali, we invite you to don red, a color associated with Her power and the energy of creation. You are also invited to bring an object you would like to have blessed.
A sliding scale donation of $8-21 is suggested to cover the cost of the puja supplies and prasad (blessed food); however, no one is ever turned away and any donation is happily accepted.
An R.S.V.P. is required if you'd like to participate. All ceremonies begin at 5:30 p.m. No one is admitted after 5:45pm."
When I find out more info I will post it here.
Blessings
