IMPORTANT:  DUE TO THE CURRENT COVID-19 SITUATION, WE WILL ONLY HOLD THIS EVENT OUTDOORS AND ONLY IF THE WEATHER PERMITS. KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PAGE AND ON THE CORRESPONDING FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE FOR LAST MINUTE UPDATES. THANK YOU!

The Kinstone New Moon Women’s Circle is a Sister Circle. We follow the guidelines of the Global Sisterhood. A Sister Circle is a safe and sacred place where we can get real, share our journeys, insights, and stories. We can cultivate self-love and authentic connection. In circle we can all speak our truth and be seen and heard for who we are. All women are invited to join in our circle, especially women who desire to create supportive relationships with other women, women who are feeling overwhelmed or stressed and are looking for some rejuvenation, and women who are looking for ways to find and express the Sacred in their daily lives.

We have selected the Friday closest to the actual new moon and still in the same month as the date of our New Moon Women Circle events. The cost is included in your admission to Kinstone. Join us! Please share these events with other women who may be interested.

What to expect: In circle, we discuss the theme for the month, then join in a short group heart meditation, followed by a time for personal sharing – feelings, questions, truths, stories, poems, and more. In this space we are free to celebrate our individuality as well as our collective strength, fearlessness, nurturing, healing and gifts. Come as you are.

Envisioning thoughts from our Global Sisterhood leaders for this month:

• Feel every person on this planet being connected to their roots, feeling a sense of belonging, and knowing the power and wisdom of their ancestors.
• Imagine every woman feeling all the wise women, grandmothers, healers, midwives, and female ancestors before her in her lineage, and knowing their wisdom flows through her.
• Feel now, in your body, the peace of knowing that you are supported by the love of thousands, and you are never truly alone. Your ancestors are holding you now.
• Envision every person choosing to turn within, and transform all unhealthy patterns into conscious, healed ways of being.
• Envision our world breaking the spell of disconnection, and instead taking a stand for honoring our ancestral diversity, knowledge, and traditions.
• See and feel the power of indigenous wisdom rising through all of us as we remember our indigeneity to this earth and choose to protect and steward the earth as our original ancestor.
• Imagine true, deep ancestral healing rippling out through every person’s lineages into the past, present, and future.
• Feel the power of compassion, love, forgiveness, trust, truth, and remembrance ignited within each person on our planet as they choose to heal the past and create a thriving, just, and sustainable future.

Intention for this Month:

• Connected with women all around the globe on this new moon, let us create the prayer and intention that we are open to receive the guidance of our ancestors, so that we may move forward, honoring their wisdom.

Some questions for contemplation / inspiration for sharing this Month:

• How would you describe your relationship with your ancestors?
• What patterns do you witness in your family that are also in you, that you want to bring healing to?
• How does your ancestry tie into your identity, and affect how you move through life both personally and socially?
• What privileges or challenges are related to your maternal and paternal lineages?
• Have you ever felt the presence of your ancestors? If so, what did it feel like, or what did it bring up for you?
• Someday, most of us will be ancestors. When you think forward to being an ancestor or an elder, what wisdom would you pass on to future generations?
• When you close your eyes and feel, what wisdom or guidance do you sense that your ancestors would want to give you?

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE Monthly KINSTONE NEW MOON WOMEN’S CIRCLE Gatherings

Women have been gathering in a healing, sharing sister circle at Kinstone on the New Moon since March 2016 when the first International Women’s Day was launched. We average about 15 women at our circles. Sometimes less, sometimes more. We’ve had as few as 3 and as many as 42 show up! We host an in-person event on the Friday closest to the New Moon and still in the same month during our normal open season, May through October.

In circle, we join in a short group heart meditation, then we have a time for personal sharing – feelings, questions, truths, stories, poems, and more. In this space we are free to celebrate our individuality as well as our collective strength, fearlessness, nurturing, healing and gifts. Come as you are. The cost is included in your admission to Kinstone. Join us! Please share these events with other women who may be interested.

Kinstone has some amazing sacred spaces and we like to use them as much as possible. We typically meet in the Stargazer Circle around the fire; however, we may gather in the Great Stone Circle, Three Witnesses circle, or other outdoor sacred place at Kinstone (weather permitting). When the pandemic is no longer an issue we can meet inside our beautiful education center when the weather is not cooperative. Until then, we will cancel the event in bad weather.
