Viventibus Mundos is the seventh [[Liturgical Season]] in the SolSeed Movement's Liturgical Calendar. It symbolizes the spreading of life from Earth throughout the Solar System. It runs from the [[Fall Equinox]] to Mid Fall. During this season the [[Weekly Service Calls]] use the following opening ceremony: <Each person begins with a cup of water> :Barren worlds ... everywhere ... barren worlds ... :But here ... <gasp> ... Earth! <light earth candle> :Cities! Farms! Forests! Seas! :A living world poised to flower and spread. :A living world supporting a beautiful civilization :A living world, bursting with possibility. :Our story begins with the people, our members ... :We who answer the call! <Each person pours their water into a common bowl> [[File:ViventibusMundosBowl.jpg|256px]] :As we practice, a movement forms, :Binding our lives together, :Reminding our elephants, :Aligning our words and actions :With our highest aspirations. <Each person dips their finger into the common bowl of water and then touches it to their mouth and opposite hand><symbolism: water is highest aspirations or community supporting highest aspirations; mouth is words and opposite hand is actions> :We bring the new trees! :The new trees make life's next great leap. :The new trees take root on barren worlds. <lay a floatable tree seed (e.g. individual maple key or pine seed (not whole cone)) on the surface of the water> :And ... we grow new homes! :Bringing barren worlds to life, :Colonies where life's upward spiral supports all spacefaring creatures. <light second candle the first week and one more each week through the season.> :People. Practice. Trees. Colonies. :From barren worlds ... <gasp> ... a family of living worlds.
