Full Moon Circle & Universal Shamanism Ceremony
Event description
New season of Full Moon Gatherings starting at Earthwalk Ways...
The times are calling us to gather into pods and communities now. If you are hearing the call please continue reading.
INTRODUCTION- INSPIRATION
Do you feel a call to connect and go deeper, to share and support the amazing and challenging journey of change we are undertaking. If so I invite you to a profound full moon communion monthly circle, for the purpose of gathering an awakening community of cohorts from this region; those who are awakening into more conscious, multidimensional and feelingful experiences, I invite you to join me this fall into winter by coming together once a month with the full moon to connect with nature and her cycles, and use the powerful elemental beings to help us in all we are doing from our hearts.
PURPOSE
The fire is a powerful element especially at night and has provided the center of activities for community for 100's of thousands of years. The ancestors knew how to work with this elemental being and other elementals as well, so in the path of Universal Shamanism the Medicine Wheel of transformation works within and around us to help individuals and the earth find balance, which is flow and stability.
Another way to describe what is happening is that your inner shaman is awakening within you. There are many types of shaman's and all are needed in the world now. It is something we all possess but it has been systematically destroyed and denied in our culture. It is what can help us through these times now. The old knowledge is being recovered and rediscovered.
Times of imbalance and crises call forth the Shamanic Archetype, the psychopomp to help us find the way into the underworld and back. Life is initiating us. As we find each other and create a resource of shared journey's we will be a force of goodness for ourselves and others.
It is important to gather so we remember our strength and bring in the lightness of air and spirit, communication and sharing, song and dance to help uplift us when we are tired or disheartened.
I hope to create a container where we can share and learn from each other, witness and pray for each other in our trials and challenges.
I am inspired by the wonderful effect of circle songs to create group energy in a beautiful and useful a way. We can learn some great circle songs together and learn more about drumming. The beat is what we entrain to that holds us and deepens us into various states that give us access to the knowledge we need. We can do drumming journeys and breathwork sessions to help us travel and learn from our guides.
The full moon is also a powerful gathering time and a time where the divine beacon of the night illuminates a shadow with her soft silver rays. There are many powerful ways we can co-create each circle with ritual and natural ceremony calling us back to this moment and reality.
TIMES
It seems people's schedules are all over the place these days, so I am going to actually hold these gatherings to actual full moon dates. Here are the future ones. Come and try and I know you will want to continue. In the old days we had a monthly circle that continued every month for 10 years. I know it is a bit harder these days but the more people and the more consistency the more powerful this will be. Everyone has a place in the circle. We need to have a strong community. These will be posted monthly as well with details. Save the date.

I have been leadning Circles for many years and they can be amazing. I had stepped back for awhile to see how the circle would create itself, but I want to do more than just a drumming circle, I want to do ceremony and communion with nature and with each other. I hope you can join me for this new iteration of what truly feeds us, that has been lost and is being called back now.
