Aug 30, 2015. A circle gathered in the Red Tent of dear friends who had shared many inner harvests and sacrifices of the heart together. And in the tent with us were other dear women, not physically present, but part of the gathering. We were over half an hour late for lunch, so much did we have to speak of on this topic, (although the farmers wanting us to move cars so that the combine harvester could get through, also took a moment of our harvest-time Gathering! The sun meditation offered a chance to s...

Jul 20, 2015. It was a pleasure to be back in our Red Tent again for our Wood Sisters Midsummer Gathering this year and once again the weather was mostly kind and it was sunny and warm in our red womb sanctuary space. The circle was full and it was lovely to welcome both new and familiar faces for this day celebrating the heights of summer. Just as Christmas follows three days after the winter solstice, so the Feast of St.John follows the summer solstice and our opening wisdom included remembering th...

Samhain

Nov 4, 2014. Later in the afternoon, we sat in meditation, going deep into the cave of the crone to receive her wisdom and returning for a ceremony of lighting candles to invite the ancestors in – each naming our four grandparents, symbolic of our lineage, our tribe; which struck a deep chord for me in our often rootless culture. A time in which things take their own time,. A time of risky seasons and unpredictable weather,. An edgy liminal time of toll-free crossings. And skeins of geese fly across the ...

Beltane

May 19, 2015. Our story was the deep and epic tale of. Psyche and Eros,. It is a story that has intrigued mythologists and psychologists alike and looks at the cycles of elation and despair that we experience on our way to a maturity that is being crowned a goddess, soul and body united, immortal. Meditation took us to the realms of loving ourselves and in a simple ceremony, we read poems and lit candles on the altar of Love – poems celebrating the many many different forms that love can take. It was a s...

Apr 29, 2015. No-thing), and that the Garden of Eden and the Tree of Knowledge and Tree of Life exist within the depths of our being as states of consciousness. During tea, the Easter bunnies or Eostre’s hares were out in the garden hiding eggs in the spring sunshine. It’s a treat for women who are often offering egg hunts and giving gifts to others, to have some fun and sweetness for themselves! Then our day concluded as usual with meditation and ceremony as we planted hopes and intentions for the year,...

Midwinter

Jan 15, 2014. Our biggest gathering of the year took place on the day of the Winter Solstice. Twenty-five of us snuggled around the wood-burner in Sue’s home to celebrate the moment of the returning light. We each held the decorated Yule log and imbued it with all that we wanted to burn or wish for as the cycle turned and it was placed on the fire. At this fulcrum point of the year, we had several departures from our normal routine: the epic story of. We witness her initial reluctance and then adoration ...
