Moon Lodge & Cacao Ceremony- New Moon in Gemini
Event description
We invite you this coming New Moon in Gemini to sit in circle of the sacred practice of the Moon Lodge or Red Tent.
“The Red Tent or Moon Lodge is simply a gathering of women that occurs at the new moon when women are most in need of support, rest & reflection. This is a timeless tradition observed by ancient cultures which serves as a regular forum for empowering women’s sense of selfhood.” -Tanishka
We gather for this lively New Moon in Gemini to connect with its planetary energy of Mercury, that encourages us to use our mind, voice and create great ideas into reality. A wonderful time to listen to your hearts desire by creating a visual of what it is you want to put out into the universe.
Moon Lodge or Red Tent, is a gathering of women on the new moon each month. It is essentially a women's circle that coincides with the natural cycles of the moon.
Why the New Moon?
The new moon in ancient times before there was artificial light, was roughly when most women would bleed during their cycle.... making this time of the lunar cycle the most vulnerable time for women in the village or family unit. It is considered the time of a woman's cycle where she shamanically descends to the underworld to collect all parts of herself. It is a symbolic death and rebirth that a woman experiences each month as she sheds her lining. It is a sacred time for women as mystics and a time when our psychic senses and connection to spirit is heightened.
Not only is this a crucial time for women to have the much needed support as they descend during their cycle and face their shadows, it is the most powerful time for women to gather when they are so spiritually open.
Women have gathered for thousands of years, creating not only support for one another but creating magic and powerful healing portals that benefit everyone.
It was said that if you wanted to destroy a village, you destroy their Moon Lodge. In ancient times villages would have a permanent structure for their gatherings as it was an essential part of the function of society. A Moon Lodge was considered the heart of the village.
By reintroducing this sacred practice back into our "villages" we are reinstating a lost practice that is a necessity for women everywhere. As women are the hearts of societies, it is vital for our cups to be filled and nurtured during our most fragile time, so we feel held and not alone.
All women in today's environment due to artificial lighting, hormones, age, stress, lifestyle etc are more prone to bleed at all different times of the month. Energetically we are all daughters of the moon and feel the shift of needing to go inwards around the new moon. The Moon Lodge is open to all women (Yoni Havers) who have had menarche. Women who are in their Maga or Crone phase and may not bleed anymore are most welcome and a treasured part of Moon Lodge.
