“From the integrity of the cosmic code in every molecule of water
inside and around you, to the secret of its fluidity and flow, the rivers flowing on
the earth are a manifestation of the cycle of unconditional love. In this [global event],
we embrace the waters of the world with unconditional love. We discover the secrets and
mystery of water as it traverses over the earth. As the rivers flow through all the land nourishing its soils, our blood flows in the rivers of our blood vessels giving
nourishment to every cell. The rivers of blood flowing in our bodies also
carries the vibrational frequency of light and love to every cell.”

Traditionally, the spiritual call for this annual Divine Feminine Unified Field of ceremonies has been for our sacred circles around the world to invoke our Spirit Teams in ceremony to call in healing energies for our beautiful Earth.
We have asked for divinely blessed Luminous Love to infuse our world with high spiritual energies, as we energetically linked our rituals together into an auspicious web of healing for our entire planet.
​
This is in fulfillment of the Tibetan Prophecy that when 1000 Goddesses or Tibetan Taras unite, then the tone of our Sacred Earth will shift from Fear to Compassion.
​
Mother Gaia has requested that we shower our local waters with love and healing energies through our ceremonies within the 1000 Goddesses Gathering Global Grid in 2025.
​
In particular, the invitation is to
focus on the toxins in our local waterways and direct love to them, inviting them to transmute into Source Energy and inert molecules.

Water Ceremony Suggestions
​
There are countless ways to do water ceremony in heart-felt ways. It can be as complicated or simple as you would like. Below are suggestions to support you.
FIRST AND FOREMOST – Making the commitment to phase toxins out of your home and your diet is a significant step to protecting both you, your family and the greater environment including our waters. For instance, eating locally-grown, organically (especially regeneratively grown) foods is a tremendous win-win for you and the environment. There are numerous tips to be found at the Environmental Working Group.
To Start -
Connect with Mother Gaia’s heart by visualizing a beautiful cord of energy from your energy body and root chakra extending to Mother’s heart in the center of our Sacred Earth. This energy cord is pulsing Love between you and Mother’s heart. ​​​
During your ceremony –
-
Visualize that — together— your shared heart space (whether you are solo or in a circle) is weaving into the Unified Field of glowing human hearts linked all around the planet pouring Love into the water and asking the Toxins to transmute on this day - "Water Love Day".
The following original information comes from the
​
You are most encouraged to call in your own
Spirit Teams to enhance your ceremony while
following these instructions.

Water in Cultures
Cultures and religions worldwide perceive Water as a Sacred Living energy which needs to be respected and honoured. Throughout time, people have gathered together to Bless Water and be blessed by it as it represents the foundation of life itself and is essential for cleansing and renewal.
​
Blessing the Water can be done by us all in a very simple ceremony developed by Dr. Emoto, a Japanese scientist who has done many years of research into the power of prayer and positive thoughts changing ordinary unformed Water into beautiful crystals. The words Love & Thank You created very beautiful snowflake-like crystals. His experiments show the power of our thoughts and words. Dr. Patrick MacManaway’s ‘Water Whispering’ work shows similar changes when he works with the Water and land.
​
There is a growing planetary movement of people inspired by this work to Bless the Water in our homes and nearby rivers and lakes. It is a very simple protocol which can be done by yourself and is also fun to done with a few friends on a larger body of Water.
Things you will need
A container for the Water Blessing preferably made of glass, metal or pottery.
​
Capped Bottles for carrying your Water contribution. Any water source will work, although un-chlorinated natural spring Water is best, if it can be attained.
​
A few sacred items or crystals to help you connect to the energy of blessedness within the Water.
​
Rubbish bags to clean the area before the blessing to leave the place cleaner than you found it.

The Practice
Stand in a circle. Ground, Centre & notice your breath and feel your connection with the landscape & your Higher Self.
​
The Focalizer [person leading the protocol or ceremony] asks permission from the Guardian Beings of Place for the group to work there. (When we are working with the Guardian Beings of Place [Devas] and Elemental Beings, it is important to be respectful and ask to change the energy of a place first.)
​
“May it be for the highest and greatest good for all beings who live here.
May we be guided, guarded & protected.”
Fill the blessing container with Water brought from your own Watersheds – any dam, creek, river, ocean you wish to bless, along with some from the main body of water where you are holding the blessing. Place it in the centre of the circle of people with your Water bottles too.
A prayer can be included if you wish. It can be spoken by the Focalizer, the group in unison or echoed line by line.​
“You who are the source of all Love and Light Whose rays illuminate the
whole world illuminate also our hearts so that we too may do your work & bless this Water (& source of Water) with Infinite Love & Gratitude.”​​
Centre yourself & notice your breathing, feel the earth beneath you and the light of the sun above. Feel your connection with all of life.
​
Now bring your focus to your heart centre and remember the feeling of Love and Gratitude…
When you are all ready, point your hands in prayer position at the water and say Dr. Emoto’s Water Blessing 3 times:
​
Water, I Love you
Water, I thank you
Water, I respect you
​
Keeping your hands in this position, then speak to the Toxins:
​
Toxins, I Love you
Toxins, I thank you
Toxins I respect you
Please, will you transmute
into Source Energy now.
Hold this hand position until you feel the Blessing is complete.
With reverence, return the Blessed Water to the main body of water with the intention of it holding the higher vibration.
And so be it.
Give thanks for the help you have been given, remembering as we bless, we are also being blessed by the Water. Now we celebrate.
This practice is being given as a starting point and we invite people to include any other blessing elements that resonates more specifically to their community.

Other general suggestions for creating ceremony
for a 1000 Goddesses Gathering Global Grid
sacred circle.
From the first moment that Mother Gaia asked Mare Cromwell to organize the Gathering in 2015, she gave her the vision of women all over the world joining energetically to anchor beautiful Divine Feminine energies into Mother's heart – the center of our Sacred Earth.
As we do this, we are 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 ... though Mother is calling us to come into Sacred Balance.)
​
​
Mother encourages us to anchor to her heart and drum, dance, sing, even wail - if needed, to connect with our Divine Feminine spirit teams (and Divine Masculine guardians) to truly raise the spiritual energies woven around the globe.
​
P.S. Chocolate stations are always most encouraged at all
the ceremonies around the world also. Goddesses need our Chocolate! :~p​​
Also, ceremonies can be scripted but are also known to arise in the moment, which can be quite fun!
The following are more suggestions to consider in coming together in Sacred Circle for ceremony. These suggestions can be applied to an online/virtual ceremony also.​

• A list of 1000 Goddesses that could be used in ceremony.
​
• Full ceremony invoking 1000 Goddesses using the list above (thank you, Tess Amoruso).
​
​
Also, you are whole-heartedly encouraged to access the Gaia’s Oneness Grid visualization and do this prior to your ceremony (available for free). This was downloaded to Mare Cromwell 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 each of our Unified Fields of ceremonies around the world, we deeply activate Gaia’s Oneness Grid as a result of the network 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 a suggested outline for leading ceremony for the 1000 Goddesses Gathering Global Grid.
​
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. Or, there could be one ceremonial leader who conducts the ceremony as others join in quietly. There are a multitude of ways to do ceremony in person or virtually so you are encouraged to be creative. (This 1000 Goddesses Gathering event in Tiberon, California, led by the late High Priestess Celestine Star, is an example of how one group organized a virtual ceremony on October 24, 2020. The 2022 Global Grid was dedicated to Celestine.)

Leading Ceremony
​
-
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. Mare did a several day ceremony once where she printed off many images of various Goddesses from different websites to lay around the outer ring of the sacred fire 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. (If this is an online ceremony, you can ask that all the participants call on their Spiritual Guardians to help hold sacred space too.)
-
Ask for your ancestors serving the Highest Good to come in also. (And all online participants can call on them 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.
-
Another suggestion is the Mantra Ma to invoke the Mother of all Grace, Compassion, Support & Love.
-
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.
-
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. Or Keen as you and your sacred circle may need to.
-
Visualize all the other beautiful ceremonies around our Sacred Earth -- to connect with all of us.
-
Make it as high vibrational as possible. Fun, silly even (if that is your guidance). Silliness is very high vibrational too! ;~)
​
-
You can keep on invoking/pulling in more Divine Cosmic Mother energies as you do this.
-
There are many good chants in English on YouTube to sing and dance with:
-
You can also include some Sacred Water Ceremony (the focus of the 2025 1000 Goddesses Gathering) 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, or waters you are next to, if that is the case.
-
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.
-
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. (And ask those in your online ceremony to thank their guardians and ancestors also.)

At the 1000 Goddesses Gathering in 2016, we offered these different healing and envisioning stations on the Washington Mall in D.C.:
- 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 action steps after the Gathering.
​
Also in 2016 in DC, we created altars to the Mothers of the Four Elements (per the Yoruba tradition) 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 on the Washington Mall, 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
