SUMMARY:Virtual Mabon Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Gather on Zoom with like-hearted ecospiritual souls to celebrate Mabon\, honoring the autumnal equinox\, balance\, and the harvest at summer’s end\, reimagined for modern times. Mabon season is a time for gratitude\, when we thank the Earth for all that has grown with the help of our hands and all that has been gifted to us from the web of life. We will do just that in our Mabon ritual. \nDuring the Mabon ceremony\, you will also be guided in a journey with the shamanic drum and receive a group animal spirit oracle card reading. We will be honoring squirrels and their energy throughout the ceremony. Through the virtual platform you will be able to see the ceremonial altar\, as if you were in circle around it. \nRegister to join us on Zoom on Tuesday\, September 23rd at 7:30pmEDT. The small $10 charge helps to cover the costs of these and other low- and no-cost ecospiritual offerings. Plan to be present for about an hour. This ceremony will not be recorded\, so please mark your calendar. \nRegister by September 20th to receive my Mabon ceremony worksheet with altar creation ideas and a sneak peak at the divination spread in case you want to pull cards along with me. \nIf possible\, please have a journal or paper and something to write with\, and\, for the ritual\, a blank note card or paper and an envelope\, a pen\, a glass of apple juice or cider\, a small loaf or piece of bread\, and a large bowl. If you do not have some or all of those items\, they will be on the ceremonial altar as well for the benefit of everyone participating. \nBy engaging in ceremonies throughout the year\, you reconnect with the Earth’s rhythms and cycles and remember the ecological wisdom you carry in your DNA.

SUMMARY:Mountain River Ecospiritual Circle at UUCGF
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join in a Full Moon ritual inspired by earth-based spiritual traditions\, the Work the Reconnects\, and nature itself. We gather monthly to support one another’s spiritual growth and direct our collective energy toward the well being of all beings. \nDuring February’s Snow Moon ritual\, we will be doing divination with animal oracle cards as a group. There will also be an opportunity to pull some cards for a personal reading. There will be some decks available to choose from\, but you are welcome to bring your own tarot or oracle deck. \nThe intention of our circle is to support your individual spiritual exploration and growth while connecting Pagans and others in a local\, welcoming group. Within our sacred space you will honor the Earth\, open to Mystery\, and strengthen your connection to Nature. Our inclusive circle is open to all Pagans\, including Wiccans\, Witches\, Druids\, Heathens\, and those exploring or curious about any Pagan path. No ritual experience is necessary. \nWe meet in the Community Room of the UU building\, straight ahead when you enter the main door. Our circles will be family-friendly\, but we ask that children not participating in the ritual remain in the room with quiet entertainment. \nSome of our circle members like to bring their journals to record any insights. You are also welcome to bring items from nature to add to our altar\, as well as crystals or other sacred items to charge. We typically sit on the floor for circle\, however there are chairs available and several circle members use them. We have some yoga blankets available to sit on and you are welcome to bring your own cushion or blanket for that purpose. \nThere is no charge for this event\, but RSVPs are appreciated. Please follow the link to Eventbrite.

What new clarity is emerging from your reflective journey through Yule season? \nGather virtually with like-hearted souls to practice hope – hope for the visions becoming clear to you and hope for our collective future – as the wheel turns to the season of Imbolc. Together\, in ceremony\, we will celebrate the midpoint of astrological winter and the promise of spring to come. \nDuring the Imbolc ceremony\, you will by guided in a journey with the shamanic drum\, receive a group animal spirit oracle card reading for Imbolc season\, deepen into interconnection with the groundhog\, and participate in a powerful ritual of faith in new beginnings and growth.
