What to expect:
The Kinstone New Moon Women’s Circle is a monthly gathering on the Friday closest to the new moon. It is a safe and sacred space where we embrace the gifts of the new moon to begin anew, identify our dreams and set our intentions during the clean slate of the dark sky. All women are invited to join in our circle who are looking for ways to find and express the Sacred in their daily lives and be part of a spiritual community.
In Circle, we create a unique ceremony where all are invited to participate to each person’s comfort level. We share a ceremonial opening where we honor nature, spirits, guide and ancestors. We join together in a group heart meditation, followed by a time for personal sharing – stories, poems, and more. There is time for journaling, setting intentions and creating a simple ritual related to the theme of the month. 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, you are welcome here.
Come prepared to share! Feel free to share what is your heart, something you have written or bring a short poem, quote, or story that speaks to you – this may be relevant to the theme for the month or could be anything that you find inspirational or that highlights the unique strengths of women.
WHAT ELSE TO BRING: An item for the altar that you will take back home with you, such as a crystal, flowers, photo, personal memento etc., a chair and/or blanket to sit on outdoors, sunscreen, insect repellent, extra layers of clothing, a water bottle, flashlights or headlamps for dark nights.
