Presents
Journey of the Moon Healing Circles
with Martha Brumbaugh, Ph.D.
The Blood Moon is a time for transformation and change. It is a time of letting go in order to allow the new to come in. It’s also the time when the veil between the worlds is becoming very thin, and we can much more easily slip back and forth between the living and spirit worlds.
Join us this Saturday for a Shamanic journey to seek answers to our questions, to connect with our ancestors and to prepare for Samhain or All Hallows Eve.
This circle is participatory, which means you can see one another, share your thoughts and experiences, and even sing and dance. It is optimal to have a webcam, but you can also just phone in. Try to be prompt. If you are late, you may still join in, and we will welcome you as soon as we can. No experience in necessary! Feel free to invite your friends!
Emergent Studies Institute is excited to announce an on-going Full Moon Circle for our ever growing global community. The monthly circles will continue through December 2016. Please keep checking this page for our 2017 Full Moon Circle calendar.
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:
- Saturday, October 15th at 6:00PM PDT for the Blood Moon and the coming of Winter
- Monday, November 14th at 6:00PM PST for the Mourning Moon circle
- Tuesday, December 13th at 6:00PM PST for the Long Nights Moon circle
