#BigSpiritMoon 's purpose is to purify us and to heal all of Creation, a process which may take a three-month-long spiritual journey. During this time, we receive instructions on the healing powers of the universe and transform into our own vision of the truth.

Wishing you, your families and communities a happy winter solstice, restful holidays, and a joyful New Year!

Please note: The OFIFC will be closed Mon, Dec. 25th, through Fri, Jan. 5th, reopening on Mon, Jan. 8th, 2024.

Have a great break!
