Scene 1: The Call to Gather
The atmosphere in the sanctuary crackled with excitement as Tara and her friends prepared for the first gathering. The vibrant flowers swayed gently in the breeze, and the gathering area radiated warmth and light, promising a safe space for all who entered.
“Let’s create an invitation,” Tara suggested, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “We can use the energies of the sanctuary to call out to the souls who need us. They must feel our light.”
Ruhaan nodded, his eyes sparkling. “Yes! We could use the fire in the center as a focal point. It will symbolize our connection and warmth.”
Kaela smiled, already gathering small twigs and stones to create a small, enchanting fire pit. “I can arrange the stones and start the fire. It’ll serve as a beacon for those who are lost.”
Aditi: “And I’ll gather more flowers to decorate the area. The more inviting it is, the more souls will feel drawn to join us.”
As they each took on their tasks, Tara felt a sense of unity and purpose surge through her. They were no longer just individuals battling their shadows; they were a collective force, ready to shine their light on others.

Scene 2: The Invitation Ritual
As the sun began to set, painting the sky in hues of pink and gold, Tara gathered her friends around the fire pit. The flames flickered to life, casting a warm glow across the clearing.
“Let’s perform a ritual to invite the souls who need our help,” Tara suggested. “We can focus our intentions into the fire, sending out a call for those who seek healing.”
Ruhaan placed his hands over the fire, closing his eyes. “I can feel the energy of the flames. It’s alive. We can channel our hopes and desires into it.”
Tara took a deep breath, feeling the warmth radiate from the fire. “Let’s each share a word or intention that reflects what we wish to offer to those who join us.”
Kaela: “I want to offer solace. I want them to feel safe here.”
Aditi: “I wish to offer understanding. I want every soul to know that they are not alone in their struggles.”
Tara closed her eyes, envisioning the souls they would soon gather. “I want to offer hope. I want them to see that healing is possible and that they can find their way back to the light.”
As they spoke their intentions, the flames danced higher, flickering in response to their words. Tara could feel the energy swirling around them, growing stronger and brighter.
“Let’s place our hands over the fire,” she said. “Together, we’ll send our light into the universe.”
The four friends joined hands, their palms hovering above the flames. Tara focused on their collective energy, feeling it pulsing like a heartbeat. The fire began to shimmer, transforming into a beacon that reached high into the sky, casting their intentions outward.

Scene 3: The Gathering Begins
As the flames continued to flicker and glow, Tara felt a tingle in the air, a sign that their call had been heard. “Now, we wait,” she said, her heart racing with anticipation. “I can already feel the energy shifting.”
The spirits nearby began to gather, curious about the fire’s vibrant glow. One by one, they approached, drawn to the warmth and light that filled the clearing. Tara could sense their hesitance, but also their eagerness to connect.
