The Lantern Blessing

For the new Facilitators.

Spoken by the Founder

Soul Honor Sanctuary

As you receive this lantern, remember that the light it carries is not something you must create alone.

It is a reflection of the compassion, awareness, and care that already lives within you.

Through your learning and reflection, you have cultivated the ability to hold space for others with patience and respect for the sacredness of their journey.

Today, as this lantern is placed in your care, it becomes a symbol of stewardship.

May it remind you to walk gently beside those who seek guidance.

May it illuminate moments of understanding, offering warmth where there is uncertainty and compassion where there is pain.

May you always remember that the purpose of this light is not to shine above others, but to help reveal the path that already exists within them.

And may you continue to tend your own lantern with humility, reflection, and love for the work you carry forward.

With gratitude and trust, I welcome you into the living lineage of Soul Honor Sanctuary.

The Lantern Passing

The light we carry is not ours to hold alone.
It is offered with humility,
received with care,
and carried forward in service to others.
