The season of Conflatorium (melting; tentative name) is the second liturgical season in the SolSeed Movement's Liturgical Calendar. It symbolises the emergence of complex life from Iceball Earth 590 million years ago. During this season the [[Weekly Service Calls]] may use the following draft Opening ceremony:
''We gather to mark the passing of a week''<br>
''To align our hearts as one.''
''Ice ... just ... ice ...''
''and then ... [gasp] ... Melting''
(Light the Sol candle)
''Warm Sun! Open Water! Dry Land! Scented Breeze!''
''a sea teaming with life ... ''
''Under the frozen ice, new lifeforms were born.''
''And now they emerge to tell their story!''
(Release fish from an underwater cage in an aquarium)
''This story begins with cells, connecting to sister cells,''
''the invention that grew the individual to any size!''
(Participants clasp hands)
''Next came the mouth, the first structure,''
''Both the feeder of animals,''
''and the singularity that ''
''gave animals direction.''
(Eat some food)
''Then came the senses!''
''The sensing which gave the first animals reason to swim.''
''The sensing which still directs us today!''
(Light a match, ring a bell, smell a flower)
''Finally, Animals secreted calcium,''
''Armour, Shells, Teeth, Bones, ''
''Massive, piling, surfaces folded through open water,''
''A billion allies emerged,''
''Life learned to make new reefs, new worlds,''
(Shake the fossil shakers)
''Clumps. Mouths. Senses. Shells.''
''From ice ... reefs!''
