I was recently called to lead a Wine meditation during a Harvest ceremony. Ironically, I’m not much of a drinker. In fact, I’ve never even been drunk.

On October 1st, join me and Linda Pappa — an incredible Greek artist based on the island of Crete — as we welcome in the Harvest season and explore its deep relevance to our lives. I’ll be sharing the teachings of the Grape — a Harvest vine of merriment, celebration, and fertility.

Like most vines, the Grape is sacred to Dionysos who, among many things, is the god of revelry and credited with bringing wine cultivation to the Greeks. Joyful in its essence, the Grape is a vine of merriment, celebration, and communion. The Grape is also a teacher of fertility, lack of inhibition, and the divine union that results from the dissolving of boundaries.
