After casting a circle, we briefly share where we are in our lives, and have a communion of fruit juice and bread. We often use divination tools to draw down that which we wish to bring into our lives or release or transmute those things in our lives that no longer serve us as they now are. Then we go on a guided journey. Afterward we discuss (if you wish) your journey and usually have a physical activity to link the journey to the real world (such as after a journey of the heart, we may cut out paper hearts and write the names and communications of the people we have met on the journey). After opening the circle we have some time to snack and talk with like-minded Pagans.<\/p>\n<p>Items To Bring: A notebook or journal to record your experience, a personal sacred for the altar during the ritual (if you wish), a small refreshment to share.<\/p>\n<p>Facilitated by Pythia, Temple of the Goddess priestess<\/p>\n<p>moon phase border<\/p>\n<p>Moon Lodge (New Moon-the dark phase of the Moon) &#8211; Once a month, 7:00 pm (the door locks at 7:30) to 10:00<\/p>\n<p>Women only for this event.<\/p>\n<p>As women, we gather to honor and celebrate the Moon Mother and her cycles which we embody with her sacred gift of rhythm and blood. Together we will celebrate stories of our own moon-time, from our experiences of menarche to menopause. We will share stories of Her ebb and flow, reconnecting ourselves with these divine and timeless cycles. Our repose in this dreamtime within the safety of a circle of sisters has the power to heal and reunite our deeper selves with the natural world.<\/p>\n<p>Dress comfortable and bring a comfy pillow and blanket to snuggle in. Bring any sacred offerings you may wish to share with the Goddess on Her Altar during the ritual. And a decadent snack to share with your sisters.<\/p>\n<p>Facilitated by Kamala, Temple of the Goddess priestess<\/p>\n<p>Shamanic Tantric Dance<\/p>\n<p>Dakini<\/p>\n<p>Shamanic Tantric Dance temporarily suspended.<\/p>\n<p>Series of five classes &#8211; monthly. 7:00 pm (the door locks at 7:30) to 10:00<\/p>\n<p>Women only class.<\/p>\n<p>A series of five classes, Shamanic Tantric Dance is a meditation in motion, a sacred dance spontaneously sourced from body impulse.

We will journey to the Lower World and meet Power Animals and journey to the Upper World and meet with our Guides\/Teachers.
