SUMMARY:Isis Moon Ritual Navigium Isidis
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 1\, 2026\, 6:30 pm \nWestbeth Community Space\n155 Bank Street\, New York\, NY 10014\n(enter through courtyard) \n$15 suggested donation (No one turned away for lack of funds)\nplus food and drink to share for potluck dinner. \nA ritual/performance collaboration with audience participation.\nDance: Mirla Pereira\nBody Print Painting: Tamara Wyndham\nRitual written and conceived by Tamara Wyndham \nIsis was a major goddess in the Egyptian pantheon. But under the Roman Empire her powers grew. Temples were built to her across the known world. Her cult rivaled Christianity.  \nEarly March was a holiday in her honor\, the Navigium Isidis (the vessel of Isis) honoring her ability to protect seafarers.  \nWeather permitting\, we will first gather at the community room\, then go to the Hudson River Park at 12th Street. We will parade with a small model boat carrying the statue of Isis\, and will chant and shake sistra and tambourines. Then we will return to the Westbeth Community Space. In case of rain\, we will gather at the Westbeth Community Space at 6:30 pm and stay there. \nMirla Pereira will personify the goddess\, as she appeared in the temple at Sais: “I am all that has been and is and shall be; and no mortal has ever lifted my veil.” — symbolizing the secrets of nature; as well as divine and inaccessible knowledge. \nTamara Wyndham will make a contact body print of Mirla at the conclusion of her dance. Applying paint to her body\, the paint will transfer to cloth. This symbolizes a transformation. And then Mirla\, as Isis will be unveiled.\nParticipants will then be invited to be blessed with water that has been exposed to the full moon\, and also blessed with a moonstone.
