New Moon in Virgo - Practical Magic:
With the New Moon in Virgo, a sign associated with sacred service, quiet pragmatism, and grounded devotion, we'll explore the theme of practical magic. Virgo invites us to live devotionally, considering how our daily practices and choices are already acts of devotion. In this circle, we'll ask ourselves what we consider sacred enough to tend carefully.

Virgo reminds us that the little things matter. Small acts, repeated with intention, become a devotional practice. Magic doesn't have to be dramatic. It can be found in the small things we do over and over again to care for our homes, our relationships, and ourselves. Virgo is the witch who actually does the work. She makes the tea, tends the garden, cares for the body, keeps the promise. She doesn't need a fancy spell or grand manifestation, because life is the ritual, and the everyday becomes sacred when lived with intention, devotion, and care.

Women Only:
This event is for women only. Trans-women welcome.

Location:

About Mabon
Mabon is a Pagan holiday celebrating the Fall Equinox. It is a time when days & nights are equal in length & moving forward the Sun's strength will diminish. It is a dramatic moment of cosmic balance as well as change, putting us in touch with the natural cycles of life, death, & rebirth. It is an abundant time of harvesting with apples, corn, pumpkins, & so much more ripe for gathering. This retreat is a chance to rejoice & celebrate in the many blessings of Fall. 🌽🍁🕯

The Full Moon in Aries calls us back to our wild woman, the untamed self beneath social conditioning. In this circle, we'll pair movement to awaken our wildness with a burn ritual to burn the conditioning. Join us around the fire for a powerful & intimate evening of ritual & connection.

This Circle Includes:
✧ Ceremonial Altar & Fire
✧ Wild Woman Movement
✧ Full Moon Burn Ritual - Burn the Conditioning
✧ Group Sharing

Full Moon in Aries - Wild Woman:
The Full Moon in Aries invites us back into instinct, desire, movement, anger, sexuality, vitality, and the untamed self beneath social conditioning. In this circle, we’ll connect with the wild woman within, remembering who we are beneath everything we “should” be and reclaiming the primal, embodied, instinctive, liberating wildness that has always been ours.

To awaken our wild woman, we’ll pair movement with a burn ritual. Movement awakens what has been stagnant or tamed, while fire releases what keeps us contained. It’s time to remember the woman beneath the conditioning, the woman who knows what she wants, trusts her instincts, and doesn’t need permission to live freely.

Tarot & tea helps to facilitate inner inquiry that can bring a sense of clarity & alignment. ☕️ Tarot cards are a beloved divination tool that help you tap into your intuition & subconscious. At this event you will learn a new tarot spread then enjoy 2-3 bowls of tea in a meditative state as you intuit the meaning of your cards. Come allow your intuition to guide the way!

Harvest Assessment Spread:
As autumn arrives, this month's tarot spread invites you to reflect on the fruits of your labor this harvest season. We'll take stock of what's grown, along with what supported that growth and what challenged it. We'll also use this time to discern what efforts are deserving of celebration, what wisdom we wish to carry forward, and what we're ready to release with the falling leaves.
