Many have requested guidance about ways to create ceremony for a 1000 Goddesses Gathering Global Grid circle. There is also the question of how to organize a ceremony during a time of social distancing.

From the first moment that Mother Gaia asked me (Mare Cromwell) to organize this Gathering in 2015, she gave me the vision of women all over the world joining energetically to anchor beautiful Divine Feminine energies into her heart – the center of our Sacred Earth. We will be deeply amplifying a significant energetic grid across the planet - Gaia's Oneness Grid - to help bring the healing energies in that are so needed now.
 
As the Global Event has evolved, there came a strong call from Mother Gaia that those embodying the Divine Masculine be present at the satellite ceremonies, to help hold Sacred Space for the ceremonies -- for the Divine Balance. However, women can gather without any men present also. (Please do not let this Call from Gaia deter you if you do not wish to have those embodying the Masculine present.)
 
The following are suggestions to consider in coming together in Sacred Circle for ceremony, to link energetically with us around the Globe on Oct 24, 2020, weekend.

Also, you are heartedly encouraged to access the Gaia’s Oneness Grid visualization and do this prior to your ceremony (available for free). This was downloaded to me, Mare, two days after the 1000 Goddesses Gathering & Global Grid in October, 2018. This came from the overarching Spiritual Council that is behind the Global Grid, which includes the Family of One in our universe. In both 2018 and 2019, we deeply activated Gaia’s Oneness Grid as a result of the Unified Field of ceremonies across the planet. Listening to this visualization will connect you spiritually to this Spiritual Council and prime you and your group to more deeply anchor your ceremony to the heart of Mother Gaia.

Below is an outline for ceremony for the 1000 Goddesses Gathering.
Note that these suggestions can also be used for a virtual sacred circle where there are women (priestesses) in different locations all participating with prepared parts, holding candles. Or there is one ceremonial leader who conducts the ceremony as others join in quietly. There are a multitude of ways to do ceremony virtually so you are encouraged to be creative. This 1000 Goddesses Gathering event in Auckland, New Zealand, is an example of how one group is organizing a virtual event on October 24, 2020. 
  • Create Sacred Space with candles, incense, smudge, etc, prepared.
  • Leave your emotional burdens at the door, so to speak. Smudge before you start, if that is your tradition.
  • Create a group altar with various icons of the Great Mother and Goddesses on it (Kuan Yin, Durga, Isis, Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Osun, Yemaya, etc. I (Mare) did a several day ceremony once where we printed off many images of various Goddesses from different websites to lay around the outer ring of our ceremony. It can be that simple.)
    • You can have images of your ancestors on the altar.
    • Animal totem images also
    • Favorite stones, etc.
  • Light a candle at the altar and activate the altar.
  • Ask for your spiritual guardians to come in, to help hold the space spiritually.
  • Ask for your ancestors serving the Highest Good to come in also.
  • Invoke these Goddesses and the Great Divine Mother/Creatrix. Invoke as many as you can, always making it clear that you are asking only for those serving the Highest Good for Divine Plan Alignment to come in. It is important to make that clear.
  • It is wise to also invoke some Gods and the Great Divine Father, for balance. (Some may not agree with this and that is fine. Yet, what our Sacred Earth needs is balance between the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine now.)
  • You can play Robert Gass’s “Ancient Mother” song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rYw8C8GhlY&list=RD6rYw8C8GhlY
 
  • Once you have opened up the ceremony and invoked the Mothers in, the next piece is to visualize their love energy coming into your energy body (as it has).
  • And then drop this sacred energy mixed with your energy body down to the heart of Mother Gaia.
  • You can visualize a powerful cord of energy dropping from your root chakra to the very center of the Planet – Mother Gaia's core.
  • Feel this cord getting strongly connected to Mother Gaia’s heart.
  • Then send love from your heart chakra to Mother Gaia’s heart.
  • And next ask Mother Gaia to send her love back to you, to your heart chakra.
  • You can keep on pulsing this love back and forth between you and Mother Gaia, sending the sacred energies of the Divine Mothers within your energy body down to her heart also.
 
  • Then, chant, dance, sway, move, drum, rattle, keep on sending the energies down into Mother Gaia and out around the world.
 
  • Visualize all the other Sacred Circles around our Sacred Earth-- to connect with all of us.
 
  • Make it as high vibrational as possible. Fun, silly even. Silliness is very high vibrational!  ;~)

  • You can also include some Sacred Water Ceremony within your circle.
    • Ask everyone participating to bring some sacred water (from a pristine spring or stream, etc.)
    • Pray over it, hold it over your hearts, drum over it, and then pour some into the ground.
    • Keep some water to share with all, to take home with them.
 
  • Food can be part of your ceremony also. Sacred offerings, sharings.
  • The ceremony can be as long as you want it to be.
 
  • At the 1000 Goddesses Gathering in 2016, we offered these different healing and envisioning stations in Washington DC:
    • For people to share about their grief.
    • Or seek forgiveness for, or how they might be able to forgive others more.
    • Or list what gives them Joy & Gratitude in their lives.
    • Or how they might envision a beautiful world that we can co-manifest together. (What would this world look like? Different images that come to mind can be shared on paper, drawings, in partners… )
    • Personal pledges/commitments for following through with specific actions after the Gathering.
 
  • When you feel that you have reached the end of your ceremony, close it by announcing out loud to the spirit realms that it is officially over, thanking all the guardians, beautiful Mothers and other positive spiritual beings who have come in.
 
  • In 2016 in DC, we had altars to the Mothers of the Four Elements anchoring the Four Directions (plus a large Goddess Statue in the center with an altar at her base), where we did ceremony. 
    • Mother of Air
    • Mother of Water
    • Mother of Earth
    • Mother of Fire   
​
  • ​At the 2018 Gathering in Washington D.C., altars were created in the four directions to the four races of our Sacred Earth:
    • East - to the peoples from the East (Asian-Indian regions)
    • South - the indigenous peoples of the Earth
    • West - the African Diaspora
    • North - the European and all Northern peoples
