Mabon 2011 - Autumn Equinox Celebration

Honoring Winter Solstice

We come together to honor the approach of Winter Solstice and the Longest Night. Join us in potluck and in ceremony.

The Shortest Day
by Susan Cooper

And so the Shortest Day came and the year died
And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world
Came people singing, dancing,
To drive the dark away.
They lighted candles in the winter trees;
They hung their homes with evergreen;
They burned beseeching fires all night long
To keep the year alive.
And when the new year's sunshine blazed awake
They shouted, revelling.
Through all the frosty ages you can hear them
Echoing behind us - listen!
All the long echoes, sing the same delight,
This Shortest Day,
As promise wakens in the sleeping land:
They carol, feast, give thanks,
And dearly love their friends,
And hope for peace.
And now so do we, here, now,
This year and every year.

Transformation

Friday, November 19, 2010 will be the last night that the Wisdom Circle will meet in it's present form. We trust in the knowing that our sacred circle will morph into it's next level, spiraling on into finer and finer vibrations. Join us in body or in spirit. You are always welcome here, in our circle of women's hearts.

We have set up this website for all of us. Events, solstice and equinox gatherings/ceremonies with men and children, and classes will be posted here for your reference, and enjoyment. Please notify us of classes and/or links to your offerings, so that we can include them on our website for everyones attention. We also encourage you to share on our blog.

Our circle is interwoven with so many others, and it is growing fast, and will be ever changing, as it belongs to all of us and reflects all of the unique individuals. Thank you for honoring the circle and us with your participation.

As women step up, more classes will be added all of the time. We would like to hear from you if there are classes or activities that you will be presenting, or if there are classes or activities or circles that you would like to have, experience, create. The poster for the monthly circle is also posted here.

Classes and events currently scheduled:

Settling into Our New Home

We are sooo happy in our new meeting place! It is beautiful and peaceful and it supports our energy well. We look forward to you joining us here. One of the things that happened in a serendipitous/blessing way was that this place occurred to us and was readily available Except one month every quarter. It turns out those months are the months of the soltices and equinoxes. Dena has been leading ceremony celebrating the equinoxes and solstices at a magical place down in Elk Grove called Piccolo Pastures with Karene Piccolo, so we are going to meet there on our night on those months only. The specific dates are listed on the flyer below. Men and children are invited to those meetings in Elk Grove (only) and we will have a potluck before ceremony, so we meet at 5:30 or 6pm on those evenings.
