Join GayCities, the fun way to discover the world

Gather, circle, and drum West of the entrance to the Prayer Vigil for

The Earth, to which we are also invited. You will see the tents and

tee-pees.

We are invited to attend, and we may be invited to drum at their

sacred fire later on after dark.

"We are happy to invite you to enjoy and celebrate the 17th annual

2009 Prayer Vigil for the Earth where the theme is "Harmony with the

Earth and Harmony with each other around the Circle.” We welcome you

to join our community, which is comprised of people from diverse

spiritual and religious traditions who share their ancient ceremonies

with each other."

Time: Gather just ahead of sunset, 6:38 PM Eastern onward, into the

twilight and darkness. (Twilight ends at 7:04 PM Eastern.)

Begin drumming when the sun touches the horizon.

Bring your candles, drums, bells, pots and pans and spoons. You may

want to bring a newspaper or plastic bag to sit on and a bottle of

water.



If the police ask us to move, we will move inside the permitted Prayer

Vigil For The Earth, to which we are invited.



We will drum and send a clear and strong message of positive energy

and a call for equality to our government, across the nation around

the globe, and to our spiritual Universe up through the towering

Washington Monument.
