About this Event
Full Moon Gatherings
We are all innately whole, complete, and abundant individually and in community. This is one teaching, of many, Grandmother moon shares with us during her fullness. Join us each month to celebrate these qualities in different healing ways during our Full Moon Circles at Ruscombe Holistic Community Health Center.
The Full Moon Circles are a series of in-person events that empower and reconnect us with the strong healing of Grandmother Moon, to help us find the energetic ancestrol rhythm between ourselves and the more than human world. Our ancestors will speak to us through shared cultural stories, as to how they celebrated the moon, and we will move, meditate, and offer ceremony to invoke lunar energy. We may even have a special healing modality to enjoy each month.
January is a very special Wolf Full Moon when we shed our final tufts of unwanted "fur" from the past year, and howl out our intentions for the coming year. This will done with the guidance of Nereus North Goldstar's crystal arrays of Pyrite and Lemurian to inspire our intentions and celebrate the return of the light. We will also have a traditional ritual of casting a circle, invoking directions, and asking with gratitude for energy from the Grandmother Moon.
If temperature is below 50 degrees we will have most of the evening indoors with a portion of the ceremony outside, when we call down the energy of the moon. We will provide chairs, blankets, mats, and bolsters for comfort, but feel free to bring your own. You are invited to wear festive clothing, a necklace you love, and bring a small offering to Mother Earth, Grandfather Sun or Grandmother Moon. Hope to see you there! Blessed Be!
Pre-registration encouraged, but Drop-Ins also welcome. Cash Donations Greatly Encouraged
