*These circles are currently on pause, please see our main circle page for current gatherings*
Join us on the Sunday closest to the new moon each month for a gathering of connection, reflection, and creation.
Wild Soul New Moon Circles are a way for us modern humans to tap back into the rhythms and cycles of nature, to bring forward our wildness, to reconnect with our higher selves and our deeper callings while making meaningful connections with those around us.
We gather each month on, or near the new moon to sit in circle, turn inwards, and listen to what our soul is calling for.
As a group we will do guided meditations based around the astrological energies, journal, witness and be witnessed by each other, and co-create a ritual to bring forth energy to move our desires towards fruition.
CURRENT CIRCLE INFO
Please visit our blog for the latest circle info:
http://sarahjosey.com/tag/new-moon-circles/
The New Moon is a time of turning inwards, of gathering in the dark, and of sitting still with oneself. It is also the time before the moon begins to wax, or get larger in the sky, which is a building of energy as it moves towards fullness.
These circles are not associated with a singular path or religion, but they are heavily influenced by the natural world and the wisdom it offers. Each New Moon takes place in a different astrological time and space and these associations are used to guide and inform the theme of each circle.
We may sing, we may dance, we may write, we may laugh, we may cry, we will howl, but above all we will ignite the wild heart and soul within us that is longing to be heard.
Attendees come from all manner of different spiritual and cultural backgrounds, and we strive to create a space that is welcoming and inclusive to all.
Circles are a Sacred Space
Nothing is ever shared outside of circle.
You are welcome to share your own experiences in circle, but you may never share the experiences or words of another. In this way we are able to create a space of trust which allows for true openness and honesty.
Additionally, this isn’t the space to try and ‘help’ or ‘fix’ other’s problems, we don’t offer advice but rather hold space to witness, empathize, and support one another on their journey.
What is The Wild Woman Project?
The New Moon Circles are part of the Wild Women Project, a international network of circles that gather each new moon. The project is centered around the ideas of Sisterhood (having each others backs, empowering one another), a respect for the earth (wildness, turning to nature as a teacher) & co-creation (the understanding that just as we co-create our experience in circle, so do we co-create life on earth).
