Welcome to the Circle of Mystery & Foundation: The Toolkit (2 of 13)
We invite you to gather with us for a series of 13 gatherings on the pulse of bi-weekly Monday's;
Moonday, evenings at 7pm BST // 8pm CET, for 90-120 minutes depending on the flow.
The Circle of Mystery & Foundation will be a space for you to rest into this darker half of the year, culminating with a final closing circle on the Spring Equinox: Monday 20th March 2023.
Perhaps the days around this full moon in Aries have illuminated where you are in deep alignment and also where wounding and rage can run the show.
In this second gathering, we will explore some tools that can support us as we journey the dark. Ways in which we can resource ourselves to stay present with what is, drinking in the nectar of the mystery rather than running and numbing.
What do you need in your toolkit to stay present with the mystery?
What are some of your tried and tested tools?
What is one tool, above all else, that you want all beings to know?
We use the word tool, as in a resource. Some kind of practice, process or medicine that you have collected along the way to support your being human.
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
— Jellaludin Rumi,
(translation by Coleman Barks)
What to expect;
- Sharing Circle
- Embodiment Practice
- Nervous System Regulation
- Sensual Exploration
- Somatic Descent
- Instinct Reclamation
- Pleasure Activation
- Archetypal Play
- Emotional Landscaping, Release & Integration
- Eros Emergence
Whilst each week may include some of the above, we will be moving with the current of aliveness and journeying with the mystery.
The foundation upon which this will rest looks as follows:
- Opening
- Practice//Sharing
- Closing
Some weeks there may be practices and rituals given to journey in your own space throughout the weeks between calls, some weeks we may rest into the stillness.
Dora and Taila will hold the space to serve what is needed, bringing their human-ness, experience and leadership whilst also inviting yours.
Who is this for?
women and afab loves comfortable with being in a space that may centre
- the womb,
- b🩸eeding,
- p🐱ssy anatomy
- & female experience//conditioning
the space is not intended as therapy, and whilst it may feel therapeutic, if you are currently in a space of active trauma we would encourage you to seek 1-1 therapeutic support so that you can be held more deeply where you are right now. You're so welcome to reach out to Dora and Taila to have a chat about what options there may be for you.
the connection between women has been severed by thousands of years of oppression and patriarchal domination, and at times it can be challenging to gather with other womby folk. we invite you to journey as deep as you feel comfortable, walk with honesty, authenticity and the courage to share your experience of beauty, triggers & challenges as part of individual;+collective whole-ing & healing ❤️
This is a Temple
Re-membering the sacred and ancient practice of circling, each gathering serves to deepen trust as another step along the journey through many cycles & spirals together. Developing intimacy with the Temple herself and those who come to gather every other week - yet without obligation. You have a seat that only you can occupy, and it is there for whenever you are ready.
We so look forward to welcoming you here,
with love Dora & Taila x
to ensure we are able to maintain the energy to hold this space we would like to ask for a suggested donation of 11£ per gathering. We do not wish for money to be a barrier to entry so please donate what you can, we would like you to know that gifted spaces and other forms of exchange are also possible.
