If possible, please have a small sprig of evergreen, a cast iron or other type of fireproof cauldron or pot, and a lighter or matches. If you do not have these or cannot safely burn the greens where you are, they will be visible on the ceremonial altar for the benefit of everyone participating.

Mountain River Ecospiritual Circle at UUCGF
2025-02-09 19:00 - 20:30 | UU Congregation of Glens Falls, 21 Weeks Road, Queensbury, NY, 12804, United States
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.
During 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.
The 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.
We 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.
Some 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.
There is no charge for this event, but RSVPs are appreciated. Please follow the link to Eventbrite.
