Description
What to Bring
- A candle
- A pre-written journal entry (prompt below)
- Anything else you'd like at your altar (crystals, tarot, etc)
What to Expect
Whether you have never been to a circle before or this is your 15th time, I welcome you. No two circles are ever the same. The evening starts with happy hour and light refreshments before settling into circle as a group. We meditate to my Nepali singing bowls and then we will read one another's journal entries out loud. Please don't worry - all of us are in the same boat (I write an entry, too) so it's completely okay if you feel awkward or vulnerable about your thoughts being shared. Try to write from the heart as much as possible. We don't have enough spaces for true open, non-judgmental dialogue anymore and that's the goal of this circle and community.
What to Write
Please write 1-2 pages typed up on your phone/computer or handwritten in response to any of the following questions. You do not need to respond to all of them but you are welcome to if you feel called. Take a look at the next section below for more inspiration.
- What is my inner emotional wisdom saying and how can I better listen to + trust it?
- How connected do I truly feel to those in my family and home right now? What steps can I take to deepen those connections?
- Where am I neglecting my personal or emotional needs in favor of work or external achievements? How can I restore balance?
What's going on in the cosmos?
This is the first full moon after the winter solstice and known as a Wolf Moon. Legend has it that indigenous cultures named this moon after hearing the howling of wolves during the long winter nights.
Just before we gather on Wednesday, she'll will reach her peak in the constellation of Cancer, a zodiac sign associated with emotional depth, intuition, and nurturing energy. Cancer is ruled by the Moon herself, which heightens the significance of this full moon, making it a potent time for reflection on home, family, and inner security.
Astrologically, a full moon in Cancer encourages us to balance our emotional needs with our external responsibilities. The opposing Capricorn sun emphasizes discipline and external achievements especially since we're all feeling the energy of a New Year full of resolutions and a fresh start. You might be feeling tension between work-life balance or emotional self-care, family versus work, home life versus external goals or pursuits. This is a great time to assess whether you're prioritizing your personal needs alongside your ambitions and tap into your inner emotional core.
Full Evening Agenda
1. MOONSHINE & GROUND RULES We'll mix and mingle for a bit until everyone arrives. There will be light refreshments and snacks served for a happy hour before settling into our circle. Then we'll go over the basics to set up a mindful space for sharing.
2. SET INTENTIONS & LIGHT CANDLES We go around the circle and state 1 thing we hope to gain from this experience as we each light our candle in front of us.
3. MEDITATE We'll spend 10 minutes meditating by candlelight to the sound of my singing bowls lovingly made under a full moon in Nepal. Spend time reflecting on our goals, connecting as a group, and getting in touch with our bodies as we enter zen self-reflection mode.
4. INTROSPECT This will be a large part of our evening. One by one we will read each other's journal entries aloud to the rest of the group. The purpose is to have a space to be purely heard. No dialogue yet, just listening.
5. EXTROSPECT Dialogue ensues. Each circle member gets the chance to comment on whichever they heard from others. Did something evoke a strong reaction? Make you think in a new way? Feel free to share anything that comes up.
6. GRATEFULNESS & GAIN Each member of the circle states one person/place/thing they are grateful for having or currently experiencing in their lives.
7. HOPEFUL LOSS Circle members state one thing they hope to reduce/lose/let go of in the coming weeks as they blow out their candles one by one
8. CLOSING THOUGHTS A chance for open dialogue, feedback, connecting with other members of the circle and easing back into the routines of life before going back off into the dark of the night.
