About this Event
Welcome to the season of light, in the heart of the darkness! Winter(Solstice) is coming!
After an entire year of co-creating together in community, the spirit of Stone Soup endures. Witnessing and being witnessed, basking in the high sensations that come with the practice of genuine connection and vulnerably sharing our personal gifts- all of this has contributed to a vibrantly creative, exciting, and supportive fellowship of brilliant humans. We are so proud. <3
Now's the time to add an element of joyful celebration! Let's enjoy a Solstice Gift Circle and afterwards share food together, potluck style. Let's make real Stone Soup!
How do Gift Circles work?
Everyone comes to circle prepared with something of value to gift to one or more people. Note this does NOT need to be of monetary value- just of value to YOU. For example, gifts could include locally collected herbs, artwork, homemade crafts, jewelry, books, home items or magikal tools you are ready to pass on, services like energy work, healings or readings, coaching, your time, friendship or attention, as well as monetary gifts. Anything you feel called to offer. This is a great chance to put yourself out there and use your imagination!
Gift Circles compose of several timed rounds, facilitated by me.
-A desires round, stating to the universe what you want to receive.
-An offerings round, stating what offer(s) you've brought or prepared.
-Two connections rounds to take people up on their gifts and decide who you want to gift your offering(s) to.
All the while we practice being in the high sensations that come with being seen, the act of receiving, and of course- possible rejection of your offered gifts.
The synchronistic connections I've witnessed during gift circles are delightful! So many unexpected desires being fulfilled! Divine meetings between individuals exactly when they're needed! Pure magick!!!
For our "Stone Soup" and Potluck aspect...
I'm bringing the stone for our soup! The rest will be an experiment! :D
I will also be supplying a community sized pot and the vegetable broth base, plus potatoes, to make a community Vegan soup!
If you'd like to contribute, please feel free to bring your own (please vegan and gluten free), * REAL FOOD INGREDIENTS!!!*
Welcome ingredients would be things like:
-Chopped Vegetables, any favorites or unique
-Chopped Herbs, fresh or dry, flavorful, aromatic, whole bay leaves
-Gluten-Free Grains, Rice, Quinoa, Buckwheat, Amaranth, Corn
-Garlic, Loose-quarted Onion (so they can be picked out), Leeks, Shallots

-Beans, any, pre-drained and rinsed preferrable
All ingredients will be added to the soup before starting our circle, allowing them to simmer together during gift circle time. Afterwards, we share a unique, delicious soup!
If none of these appeal to you, or you'd like to bring a potluck item instead- please do! Wonderful additions would be regular & gluten free breads or crackers, holiday fare, desserts, salads, fruits, favorite family recipes- all the normal stuff.

Our circle will be held in the back room of the Equinox Center For Herbal Studies during their normal business hours. Check out the store before heading to the back!
I advise to bring a notebook or something to write on and with, to keep track of gift circle offerings. It can get hectic to remember who has/wants what in a large group!
