Springs and Stones - An evening of honouring & working with November's New Moon, exploring our soul connections to the magic of the natural world & an opportunity for a wild dip or swim

We invite you to join us in a beautiful outdoor space on where a young River Frome meanders around a barrow amongst willow, oak, hawthorn and rose.  Join us as we come together as community, to grow and explore our soul connections to the magic of the natural world whilst honouring and working with the energies of the new moon.  

The new moon marks the beginning of a new cycle, a time when the sun is completely blocked from shining its light on the moon’s surface and she is at her darkest.  From within this darkness, the new moon energy offers us the opportunity to be in greater touch with our shadow, the darker parts of ourselves that we push away, hide away from or that we are unaware of. She offers us a sacred, still space where we have a chance to deal with things differently.  Where we can tolerate the intensity, the sensations and feelings, and embrace the knowledge that life is messy and challenging, and yet is also filled with joy, love and abundance. 

We may find ourselves feeling more introspective, with a clarity of vision as the energy of the last cycle slips away.  This is a time to set our intentions and begin to steer ourselves in the direction of what we want most.  The new moon offers us new beginnings, new starts - a deep need for which is something which resonates within us all. She calls us to dream of what we want most and asks us to reach for it with both hands.  As we face the next phase of the cycle with the waxing moon moving towards the next full moon, we can begin to embrace the work we need to do so that when the time comes, we may bask in the light of the full moon,  celebrate our achievements and see where our next steps should land. 

We will come together around the fire to hold a gentle ritual honouring the powerful healing energies of the moon and nature and creating sacred space, sacred circle.  We will work with the dark moon’s energy, sacred herbs and the fire to help us sit with those parts of us that need our awareness, attention and love.  We will spend time setting our intentions for the new cycle, fresh beginnings and stretching those fingertips out to grasp onto our dreams.

There will then be an opportunity to join us for a new moon paddle or immersion in River Frome as it meanders around a barrow ( always respectful of the weather and river levels). River here is young and probably thigh high at its deepest as she gently carves her way through deep banks.   If you prefer, you can sit on the banks of the river cleanse your hands and feet in moon water. Our evening will come to a close as we share our stories, support each other, laugh together and drink some tea and perhaps eat a little cake.
