29May2018 FullMOonRise celebration!

This month, the full moon is on the calendar for 30th, but the closest moonrise to sunset is the night before so I'm going to the beach for it on Tuesday 29th.
We will acknowledge the cycles waxing and waning in our lives, and celebrate this with a combination of time in solitude at the water's edge and in the group as a circle of women. We know the power that comes from combining our intentions and energy, this will be an opportunity to share in that heightened state.

I will be going to the beach, rain or shine, so just come if you like, dressed for the weather on the day. If you'd like to share in a carpool from town, meet me at Water St Carpark (opposite Dominos Pizza) by4:30.

Once at he beach, we often begin with the releasing that which no longer serves us, by writing words or symbols into the sand and letting the waves wash it away. This is unique to each person so we do this part individually. Then celebrate all that this cycle has brought through to fruition, with gratitudes for the fullness of our manifestations (including those that continue to be a work in progress!) And finally, coming together as a group and opening up the channel for the supporting energy that we'd like to welcome in, for going forward into our next cycle.

When we have re-gathered as a group and after some gentle activities to shift our energy, we move into a guided visualization. From our gathered and overflowing love, light and good intentions, we send out healing and support to the world, reflecting through the wind, and waves and stars.

By this time Marama, the moon is risen above the eastern horizon. If we can see her we bask in her reflected light and beauty. And if it's cloudy, we still know she is there, and it is a good time to reflect on what has arisen within us this time, and the power of the unseen that still affects us.

I always arrive with some ideas, but am also grateful to notice what new, or unexpected feelings, insights and awareness can come up when we give the time, space and invitation to ourselves to do so! I encourage you to hold open the space for this for yourself as well . :-) .

Details of what we actually do will vary slightly from moon to moon, depending on the group and the weather.
We also welcome input and suggestions from members, so don't be shy if you'd like to share your idea :-)

Also carpooling is available for people travelling from Whangarei - leave your name in comments below if you'd like to share a ride. I have a large car and take 6 other people, sometimes we have two carloads from the Water Street Carpark (opposite Dominos Pizza) beside the railway track.
My number is (027) 271 5010 if you need to make contact on the day.

There's nothing you Have to bring, but I would recommend a windbreaker and a small snack for at the end, -it just grounds our energy before we go back out into the world :-)

Looking forward to reconnecting with the powerful cycles of nature, and with you!

Namaste
