We now welcome Weighs the Truth, Clan Mother of the 3rd Moon Cycle. This Clan Mother teaches us how to Accept the Truth in our lives. Now is a good time to dream the big Medicine dreams to heal ourselves, our loved ones and our world. With the help of her Totem, Owl, this Clan Mother can help us discern the truth and navigate through the lies, illusions and beliefs that will only serve to distract us and keep us separated from our Authentic Self, from our true world, a world of interconnectedness, equality, limitlessness and peace.

Now, at this great Time of Awakening, is the time for us to wipe the dust from our eyes and free ourselves from the Illusion of Matter – we are expansive, limitless energy beings! Now – now and now and now – is the time for us to come together in ceremony and prayer to help birth a new world from the Field of Expansive Possibilities – a world of love, peace, joy and honey in the heart!

Please do bring along your Sacred Braid for this month – your word, Animal Totem and Sacred Path card. If you weren’t with us at the Setting Our Energies Ceremony, please pull a card or drum/rattle to discern your energy for the month. Please also bring rattles and drums, a lap cloth and cushion for floor sitting. You may wish to bring a stone person – one that you are working with for this month – for the alter.

I look forward to being with you in Sacred Ceremony. Suggested £10 exchange.

This circle is open to women over the age of 12.

In January, we welcome Talks With Relations, Clan Mother of the 1st moon cycle. This Clan Mother holds the energy of Learning the Truth. This is a wonderful time of connecting and learning from All Our Relations – stone beings, tree people, plant medicine beings, all the creature-beings and the beings of the Great Star Nation. They have many messages to share with you at this time of transformation. 

When we dance with her Totem, Grouse, we are able to respectfully learn the rhythm of All Our Relations. By using both ears and an open heart and honouring All Our Relations, we are able to ask for their help and wisdom. We are able to hear the many messages they have to share with us at this time. All Our Relations are also Dreaming of a world of mutual reciprocity, respect, harmony and love. Pay attention! They are trying to share a vision that will enrich us all!

When we open our hearts to all living things, we nurture kindness, compassion and respect. When we respectfully step into the world of others, we can begin to see the world from their Sacred Point of View. From this expanded Point of View, oneness flows.

I am looking forward to being in Ceremony with all of you. Together, we will feed our spirits to walk the Beauty Path. 

If you are coming to the lodge, please bring a mat or cushion to sit on, a lap cloth and your drums and rattles. If you are joining us via on-line, please do don your ceremonial garb and smudge yourself prior joining.

This month, we welcome Gives Praise, Clan Mother of the 12th Moon Cycle, into our lives.  She shows us how to transform our lives with gratitude, ceremony, and asking for what we need and want in our lives. Nothing happens in the Universe until a request has been made. Through her Totem, Buffalo, we learn how to pray through gratitude. We learn to be Grateful for the Truth in our lives.

The vibration and attitude of gratitude is woven into every Ceremony. This Clan Mother shows us how to transform our lives through Ceremony, healing our spirits and opening our hearts and minds to our connection with All our Relations. This connection – to our own Orenda, to the Universe, to the Earth Mother, All Our Relations, to Spirit – is what sustains us, feeds us and helps us blossom into our true, authentic Selves.

I am grateful to be in ceremony with all of you in Circle. Through connection and gratitude, we will feed our spirits and regroup our energy so we can continue clearly on the Beauty Path.  

Please bring your braid for the year and this month. Please bring your drums, rattles, flutes and any other instruments – we have some to share.

In October, we welcome Weaves the Web, Clan Mother of the Tenth Moon Cycle who teaches us how to Work with the Truth. With every choice we make, we are co-creating our lives. This Clan Mother and her Totem, Beaver, teach us important lessons in co-creation. Beaver is the Builder, the Doer.  Momentum is gathering for a change in the world. If we are to co-create a world of harmony, a world where all and everything is respected and honoured, a world where the resources provided by Pachamama are used wisely and with gratitude with the next seven generations in our hearts and minds, then we must work together with each of us contributing our talents and gifts. Let our prayers include a request to Beaver to work with us in co-creating a new path for our planet’s future.

Are you willing to co-create a world of beauty and truth? Join us as we create community and unity.

Please bring your braid for the month if you have one and if not, go inward to seek a Totem or Path for the month or draw a card.

Also, as we begin drawing down towards the end of the year, take time to reflect on your personal and the collective energy for the year, Catching the Waves of Coherent Radiance with Dolphin and Obsidian

I am looking forward to sitting in Ceremony with you once again.

They are ready and willing to assist us, all we have to do is request their help with gratitude in our hearts and on our lips. With their help, we can listen, listen, listen!

In the 7^th Moon Cycle, we welcome the teachings of Loves All Things. This Clan Mother teaches how to Love the Truth in all its manifestations. Elders of the Andes have a saying – the past is front of you. Until it’s not. Until we heal ourselves and love all parts of our past, all parts of the Self. The Mother of Love and her Totem, Octopus, teach us how to love all parts of the Self without judgment. For within the loving tenderness of the arms of Octopus, we find healing on a cosmic scale. Let this Clan Mother and Octopus help you be brave. Request their help in healing and loving the Self – they are waiting for you!

This month we welcome Storyteller, Clan Mother of the 6th Moon Cycle. In the Seneca Wheel of Truth, this Clan Mother teaches us how to Speak the Truth. This past year, we have had an unprecedented opportunity for retreat, for going within, an opportunity for spiritual growth and for aligning with our life’s mission and revealing our true, authentic Self. As we begin to emerge from our physical isolation, this Clan Mother and her Totem, Wolf, teach us new paths, new ways of learning, growing and being. 

Now let us Speak the Truth of these new ways of being, sharing our love for All Our Relations and inviting others to do the same. When we have some wisdom, it is our responsibility to share it – those words belong to the people – they are not just ours. But how we share it makes all the difference. When words are spoken with respect, honour and non-judgment, hearts and minds fly open to receive the sweet nectar of truth!  When hard truths are communicated with compassion and the unconditional love of Grandfather sun, with humour and lightness, the ability to digest them is strengthened.  

Let us raise our vibration together that we may feed ourselves, each other and Mother Earth! Please join me on-line for Circle – I look forward to sitting in Ceremony with you!

Please bring your drums and rattles as well as your braid for the month. If you do not yet have a braid, please draw cards or intuit or drum for the energy you are working with this month.

This month we work with Listening Woman, Clan Mother of the 5th Moon Cycle, who teaches how to HEAR THE TRUTH. Spirit, Nature, your heart, soul, and body, your Totem Animals and All Our Relations have many teachings – and they are willing to share them with us! All of the Spirit World is trying to send us messages, trying to get our attention.

In order to hear those teachings, to Hear the Truth, we must work to keep our Sacred Space
clear at all times. This Clan Mother and her Totem, Armadillo, help us keep our Sacred Space clear. Only with a clear, open heart and mind can we Hear the Truth in what is being said and discern the intentions of the speaker.

I look forward to being in Ceremony with you!

Please do bring along your Sacred Braid for this month – your word, Animal Totem and Sacred Path card. If you weren’t with us at the New Year’s Day Ceremony, please pull a card or drum/rattle to discern your energy for the month. Please also bring rattles and drums.

This month, we Honor the Truth with Wisdom Keeper, Clan Mother of the 2nd Moon Cycle. Wisdom Keeper teaches us how to honour the Truth in all things by first honouring our own Beauty Path, our own dreams and visions – to let our own Orenda be our guiding light. She teaches us to walk this Good Red Road with the Truth of who and what we are in our hearts.  This Clan Mother and her Totem, Lynx, teaches us how to do all this by accessing the secrets of the universe and aligning ourselves with the Eternal Flame of Love. Lynx is the Knower of Secrets and guards the secret fire of wisdom that dwells in each of us. All mysteries can be accessed through the heart when we are open and willing to receive.

Wisdom Keeper also teaches us how to honour the Truth in all things by respecting the Sacred Space and Sacred Point of View of All Our Relations. She shows us how to allow others their personal Truths, thus learning how to be a neutral presence in the lives of others.

Are we honouring the Truth of our own Beauty Way? Are we listening, paying attention and co-creating our lives with Spirit? Are we being a neutral presence in the lives of others that encourages them on their path? Are we honouring their Truths?

Please do bring along your Sacred Braid for this month – your word, Animal Totem and Sacred Path card. If you weren’t with us at the New Year’s Day Ceremony, please pull a card or drum/rattle to discern your energy for the month. Please also bring rattles and drums.

In January, we welcome Talks With Relations, Clan Mother of the 1st moon cycle. This Clan Mother holds the energy of Learning the Truth. This Clan Mother and her Totem, Fox, teach that all wisdom is camouflaged, only becoming visible when we open our hearts to understanding and learning the Truth. When we humble ourselves, we can hear every sentient being through the language of love – through the heart connection. All Our Relations have many messages to share with you at this time of transformation. Talk to these beings – get to know them – ask them to teach you – in this way you honour Talks with Relations and her teachings.

When we open our hearts to all living things, we nurture kindness, compassion and respect for all. When we respectfully step into the world of others, we can begin to see the world from their Sacred Point of View. From this expanded Point of View, oneness flows.

I am looking forward to being in Ceremony with all of you. Together, we will feed our spirits to walk the Beauty Path. 

Take time to prepare your ceremonial space and don your ceremonial clothing. Please bring your braid for the month OR draw/intuit/journey for your totem(s) / energy path for this month. Please also bring your drums and rattles.

This month, we welcome Gives Praise, Clan Mother of the 13th Moon Cycle. This Clan Mother and her Totem, Raven, show us how to transform our lives through the magic of the attitude of gratitude. Raven, the Keeper of Magic, seeks the void, the magic of the black light of the universe, to effect change. As we come down to the end of this year, as we Dance the Spiral of Light and Dark, ask Raven and this Clan Mother to help you be Grateful for the Truth in your life. Ask them for help in effecting the changes necessary for you to become your true, authentic Self. Ask them to help you walk in Beauty. Nothing happens in the universe without a request. Be brave!

Praying with gratitude for all things in our lives is the Path of Beauty. Are you walking in gratitude?

I am grateful to sit in Ceremony with all of you in Circle. Through connection and gratitude, we will feed our spirits and regroup our energy so we can continue clearly on the Beauty Path. 

And as we begin winding down this year of Dancing the Spiral of Light and Dark, our communal Totems, Swan and Shiva Shell remind us to keep dancing lightly with all that life is offering at this time, keep flowing with new energies that are emerging! What is your personal energy for the year 2020? How are you engaging and working with this energy?

Please do bring with your word, Totem and path for the month if you have them. If you do not, please look inward by drumming or rattling or draw a Totem for the month if you can prior to Monday! As always, have your drums and rattles to hand as we celebrate life together!

I look forward to feeding our Spirits together in Sacred Ceremony.

This Circle is open to all women and girls over the age of 10.
