"We come together to celebrate the seed as a symbol of the beginning, as the regeneration of life, as life's potential, and as the beginning of generating abundance and prosperity. The seed represents independence, self-reliance, and empowerment. It represents growing and supplying our own food; self-reliance and self-determination in supporting, nurturing and guiding ourselves along the path of being whole, being healthy and having abundant life." - Seba, Heru-Ka Anu

Heb-Peret – The Seed Festivaland the Season of New Life
We celebrate Heb-Peret – The Seed Festival on the vernal-equinox (this year March 20-26, 2012), marking the first day of spring, and beginning our season of celebrating new-life.
For a period of 90-days, from the vernal-equinox to the summer-solstice we acknowledge, celebrate, and revere new-life as symbolized by the seed. This is the growing season when we plant and nurture the seeds to fruition, abundance and prosperity. This period is marked by rituals and ceremony - solar, lunar, stellar, and earth-centered. Also, this is a time when we elevate our consciousness about new-life and regenerating-life, and all of the principles associated with its promise.
Heb-Peret – The Seed Festival is realized through ceremony, presentations, and hands-on activities. We acknowledge and celebrate in ceremony the Neteru that gave us the gift of the seed; we share presentations about our relationship to the seed – past, present and future; we participate in hands on workshops to empower and enable us to realize our vision and the promise held by the seed. Throughout our gathering we will have festive activities – including dance, music (drumming, singing, etc), poetry, feasting, and more.
Stevie Wonder's - Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants is our unofficial soundtrack to Heb Peret - The Seed Festival
