Dear Friends,
I am back 💛 This October 17th, I light the lantern again.
After nearly four years away, I have returned to Sedona, to the land that has always known me.
Back to the red rocks.
Back to the heart of spiritual awakening.
I’m home at Sedona Mago.
And on October 17th, there is nowhere else I would rather be. Eight years ago, I stood on this land and lit the very first lantern to begin this festival.
I watched it grow — one flame, one prayer, one heart at a time. Now, the 8th Sedona Lantern Festival is here. ✨
As you light your lantern and let it float on the water, you release what you wish to let go of, awaken the greatest love within you, and remember how blessed you are.
As the light also awakens and become bright within each of us, we naturally come together as One, sending our prayers and light out to the whole world.
Beneath the beautiful Sedona night sky, join us for a sacred time of stillness, peace, and connection. 🙏🏻
With love,
Ilchibuko
