Paris, France

report by Nicole Cressiot

In connection with SOPP at Fuji Sanctuary, a few of us gathered in Paris on May 15th. Based on the theme of the ceremony at Fuji Sanctuary—musubi, to link and unify our inner and outer life—we brought together the whole world in prayers of peace for each nation, and for people’s awakening to a consciousness of the divine spark within.

Because of some difficulty with technological connection, we couldn’t join with some of our friends online, but the four of us gathered in person offered deeply felt prayers for peace to prevail in each and every country, its people, and the earth as a whole.

We concluded the prayers for each continent with the Divine Spark IN, and prayed for our humanity to receive this heartfelt energy, a call for peace and love to prevail. We then offered gratitude to the earth and all its life.

As always, we celebrated with a shared tea, cookies and all the sweetness that brings us together, in this prayer for each and every being on earth.
