“Whatever beings that are here assembled, whether terrestrial or celestial, may every being be happy and joyful”

• from the Ratana Sutta

Over the past few months, we have been working together on the details of our shared project — and deepening connections and friendships.

It feels timely now, just before work begins on the site, to more mindfully introduce ourselves to the land: to honour the beings who live there, seen and unseen; to offer our blessings, and to ask for their blessings in return. In the creation of Suvana, it is not only our world that may be changing, but theirs too.

We can ask that our blessings touch all those who will one day live there — as neighbours and as a wider community — so that they may be well and at ease.

You are warmly invited to join us for a simple ritual to greet and bless the site. Following the ritual we will have a picnic lunch together.

No need to book, just show up in good time before the start.

Further details, particularly on where exactly to meet, will be sent to Suvana cocreators.
