We become each others witnesses and are comforted and often healed by each others stories and presence. Even just speaking your story out loud has the power to transform things and help process life events. Circle time reminds us and reconnects us to ourselves, each other and Mother Earth; and her cycles and rhythms.
“It is a call from the Sacred Feminine to bring the feminine principle into consciousness. It is time to “gather the women” - for only when women are strong together can women be fiercely protective of what we love. Only then, will the children be safe and peace a real possibility.”
Jean Shinoda Bolen
Our Moon Lodge is a space provided for the gathering of women and girls as they weave the threads of their life. It is a place where we can come and laugh, cry, sing, celebrate and hold each other as we flow with the tides of our life.
Where we can experience the in-breath and the out breath, and the space in-between; and be reminded of the sacred things in our life – our children, our lovers, our sisters , our families and our Mother Earth.
Its a simple place where we can return to the heart of community and be present for each other and share our ocean of life experience…
Gathering as women is a time old tradition, and one in which has slowly been lost. Communities have become segregated, we predominantly live in single family households, we often bring up children on our own. We lose that connection to each other and ourselves.
It’s time to make the reversal. Gathering together, we have that chance to reconnect to ourselves, and to reconnect to each other. It is deeply nourishing as a woman to sit regularly in a circle, and hear our sisters and friends express similar, and often the same blessings and challenges in their life. It is a great reminder that we are all so connected and that life is a joint experience. It gives us strength and reassurance and provides a pillar of support for the tough days.
Sitting in a circle is about supporting, witnessing, being present and honouring each other as an equal, free from judgement and criticism. It is an intimate gathering where we speak our truth, listen and relate to others. It is where we can sit, fill our cup and be accepted just as we are.
