Journey of the Moon Healing Circles

with Martha Brumbaugh, PhD

Emergent Studies Institute is excited to announce an on-going Full Moon Circle, beginning Sunday evening, 19th to honor the Summer Solstice.  The monthly circles will continue through December 2016.

At each Full Moon we will gather to create community through sharing our stories, our hopes, and our dreams.  Every circle will be unique. We will learn together about each moon, its many names, and the energy that surrounds it.  Time will be set aside to do either a Shamanic Journey, or a visualization to visit with our allies and guides whether they are plant, animal, or mineral.  We will celebrate the abundance in our lives, embrace the unknown, and begin to heal from the inside out.

At the end of each circle, we will call on the healing energies of our teachers, guides, and allies to help others. The healing energy builds and peaks, we will send that energy out on the back of a raven to those who need it.

Dates and Times: 

• Sunday, June 19^th at 4:00PM PDT in honor of the Solstice and the Dyad Moon
• Tuesday, July 19^th at 6:00PM PDT to celebrate the Mead Moon and the Faeries
