Rumsen Ohlone Ceremony

Ceremony is keeping tradition alive, keeping the community together, and helping each other out. Ceremony is usually composed of Talking Circles, Sweats, and Healing/Bear Ceremonies. It also brings the Tribal members in direct connection with our mother earth and is a time for healing of the land, people and all of our relations. Ceremony is a 10 day event where Ohlone come from all over to fast, support their families, and meet new relatives. On average, 70 people attend ceremony, which has been continuing  annually from time immemorial to the present day.
