Makua Sunrise Ceremony

The 14th Annual Makua Sunrise Ceremony

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

6:00 am

Makua Valley, inside the military reservation

Interfaith sunrise ceremony to pray for the restoration of life and peace in Makua and the world.

The first Makua sunrise event was held on the beach of Makua on Easter 1997, when the Marines had planned an amphibious invasion training. Canoes, surfers and others gathered on the beach in prayer and blocked the exercise. The Makua Sunrise ceremony moved into the valley the following year and has been held there ever since.

Participants are welcome to share a prayer, song, poem or thoughts.  Bring folding chairs or mats to sit on.  There is usually a potluck gathering at the beach after the event.
