Flight of Chinese lanterns towards the starry sky for the Night of Wish Lanterns at Lake Averno!
ATTENTION: EVENT CANCELED FOR THE 28 MAY SUNDAY EVENING
27 Saturday and Sunday, May 28 2017 we can participate in a very evocative evening walk around Lake Averno following an ancient Chinese ritual. This is the event entitled "The night of the Wish Lanterns"During which each participant will be able to entrust one's own desire to a lantern making it then fly up to make it "welcome from the spirit of heaven".
It is an initiative linked toChinese alchemy, and the "magic of seals and writing that will impress your desire on paper with the force of fire that will burn the air". In fact, a legend tells that during the night of the lanterns the Goddess of the sky was very impressed and moved by the messages made to hover up to her so she felt compelled to fulfill them and, during the walks around the lake, these will deepen. Chinese and Japanese rituals, which are nothing but propitiatory rites.
Program
We will start from the Caronte restaurant listening to the Asian legends, then we will stop at the temple of Apollo to know the divinity of the Chinese Pantheon and al forest will witness a guided visualization inspired by the alchemical text "The lotus flower base of Chinese alchemy". At this point, the participants will be divided into groups which will be assigned names of Chinese deities. Each group will have a lantern to which tickets will be fixed with the wishes of each participant, reflections born during the meditation inspired by the alchemical text.
We point out that the lanterns used do not pollute because they are made of a material that at high altitudes dissolves without causing damage.
