Conscious Cafe Skipton

6:45 for 7 pm start. Full Moon Fire Ceremony 🔥🌕
Our local Shaman friend Shannon O'Flaherty, who has led some lovely rituals and ceremonies for our Conscious Cafe Skipton community on the year's quarter days, regularly offers a Full Moon Ceremony in her garden in Ilkley. She is inviting you to join her. She usually holds these on the actual Full Moon day or within 3 days either side to stay in the full moon energy.

Why it’s named this
Named after wolves howling during the coldest, darkest part of winter — a time of scarcity, intuition, and deep night awareness.
Symbolises

• Intuition
• Inner guidance
• Survival wisdom
• Soul longing

Spiritual meaning
A powerful moon for returning to yourself after a long internal winter.
It invites you to hear the “howl” of your own unmet needs and reconnect with your instincts.
A time to set boundaries, honour solitude, and listen to the truths rising from within.
Shannon says: "Acknowledging the presence of the Full Moon is about ending one cycle and beginning a new one. To let go, invite in, find balance and connect with your higher knowing and connection to Source. Fire 🔥 transmutes heavy energy to light! It’s amazing how much taking things to the fire can alter your life! 🙏💜 "

Bring a small stick about the size of a pencil. Or a pine cone to burn.
WEATHER NOTE: Dress appropriately! If it's really pouring we'll have it inside.

Venue is Chez Shannon's in Ilkley. House number given to those who book. Please arrive at 6.45pm for a prompt 7pm start. Depending on the numbers, the ceremony will be over within 2 hours leaving time for a hot drink and review.
A donation of £5 is requested for this offering to cover hospitality and Meetup costs.
