New Moon : Darkness in the Summer
Here we greet the New Moon in Leo, but what if..
Instead of feeling the ROAR of Summer Energy coursing through your blood and bones you are feeling empty.
What if instead of feeling the ‘joys of summer’ you are feeling overwhelmed.
Instead of basking in the glory of Sun, Sea and Sangria you are feeling grief, sadness, darkness.
How do we hold space for this when it seems everyone around us is on top of the world, and we are wallowing in the river of Styx?
We NEED support. We cannot navigate the darkness alone.
We are not designed to grieve alone.
Our nervous system has evolved to allow us to thrive. To go beyond FIGHT or FLIGHT, to level up from FREEZE or FAWN.
We have a social nervous system and our ability to thrive is based on the support we receive.
But maybe we have to learn to RECEIVE.
We have to open ourselves up to the fact that we can not do this alone.
We were never meant to do this ALONE.
We are made for SUPPORT. We are made for COMMUNITY.
To enable our bodies to FEEL safe enough to ASK for & RECEIVE support is something that may take time. We learn and inherit ways of being that may have helped us to survive in the past, that would have kept us safe in that moment.
But maybe that is no longer needed.
Maybe, now we have the capacity to move beyond survival - and into a place where we can thrive, where we can FEEL into JOY & PLEASURE
Does that feel achieveable? or even possible for YOU?
What emotions does that bring up?
Know that in LIFE as that old wizard Dumbledore knew -
‘Help is always given (at Hogwarts) to those who ask for it’
and, another one -
“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light"
Once a month, on the Full Moon, we come to rest & receive support. To turn on the light.
For ourselves, for our dreams, for all of the women who are not receiving the support they so desperately need to thrive - or even survive.
We honour ourselves with the rest we need.
The holding & tending we need. For 90 minutes each month.
So that even if that is the only act of self care,
the only way we have of supporting and tending to our dreams and our intentions for this life,
the only space we have to connect with our souls journey.
We can in that space feel SUPPORTED.
If you are a woman, and you would like to feel the support that comes from connecting with other women, in real time. To be held, witnessed and supported, in rest & as your true self, Join us on
Sunday August 10th for our WILD MOON : CREATIVE DREAM CIRCLE
