HELPERS

´´Prayer is not just about following rituals and doing it right. It's about how we feel inside, how our hearts connect and how we live. This is called "walking the path of medicine." (Bear Heart, Lakota Chief). ´´

Helpers

VOLUNTEERS STAY: From July 24 to August 4th
ONLY REGISTERED HELPERS ARE PERMITTED TO THE MOON DANCE.

Supporters, also known as helping hands, are those of you who want to help set up the infrastructure (kitchen, toilets, tents and more). We also need a lot of support during the time of the ceremony (water team, fire team, kitchen team, kids team). Once you have read everything, please download the registration form (located at the bottom of this page), fill it with your information and send it to the following email: moondanceaustriahelpers@gmail.com - Please also let us know if you have any special skills, if there is a specific area you would like to work in, or if you are open to being deployed wherever a helping hand is needed. This helps us with organizing the team size and distribution of tasks. Thank you!

For the Moon Dance we need your "promise" and commitment so that we can count on your presence. As soon as you feel the clarity of the call within you, register as a helper with the help of the registration form.
There will also be separate sweat lodges for supporters during the ceremony (more on this on site). Supporters are cordially invited to witness the ceremony each night and soak up the energy field of prayer.
We will offer three warm meals a day.

MEN DOING THE MOON DANCE

Dear Brother, we are deeply grateful for your presence and support. We know that this Holy Prayer would not be possible without you.
And here we are again, calling you to unite our prayers and visions for the New Earth. We are going through difficult times of change as humanity and together we are able to balance the powers of the feminine and masculine energies. Together we keep the balance of these two important forces on this planet.

OUR ATTITUDE

The person (dancer, helper or visitor) who does not follow the disciplinary rules, whether outside or inside the circle, is invited to leave the place. The dancers, firemen, watermen, helpers and visitors must always respect each other, otherwise they are asked to leave the place. The council is free to regulate the behavior of the dancers, firemen, watermen, helpers and visitors. In case of disrespectful behavior, the council would have the final say in deciding whether or not to allow the person/dancer to remain in the circle.
It is important that everyone respects the property of others. No abuse of any kind will be tolerated. The Council reserves the right of admission, retention and expulsion.

We recommend that you organize a good landing site for the first time after the ceremony, where you can recover for two to three nights, get deep sleep and come to rest to process your experience and allow it to be well integrated. Nature, healthy food and lots of fruit are the perfect support for this. Lots of sleep and rest, nature and good and healthy food are the perfect way to integrate the moon dance days together.
