![Co-created Ceremony
One of the joys of on-line circles for me is exploring the ways we can co-create ceremony.
In today’s Sharing Circle, those of us who could, spontaneously gathered a stone, a feather, a bowl of water and a candle. We each created a simple altar aligning earth, air, fire and water with the four directions and we then shared a simple ceremony.
To our circle altar I added a sculpted fly agaric mushroom to represent the online eco-system of our own mycelial networks of interconnection and inspiration, a ceramic butterfly to represent the transformation that takes place in circle, a silver horse to represent the Celtic Goddesses and a small copper bowl representing the strength of our relationships.
Our closing invitation was to find a guiding myth for this season. After Circle I pulled a card from my Tarot of the Divine deck (@yoshiyoshitani) which is inspired by deities, folklore and fairytales from around the world. My card was the story of Donkeyskin, a French fairytale representing being caught up in your own insecurities 😳The message was a wonderful reflection of what came up for me in Circle and an invitation to step out of those insecurities.
The Grove really is a wonderful collective of wellbeing practitioners, creatives and community organisers who are seeking authentic community and are willing to collaborate and conspire with imagination and integrity.
We are open for new co-conspirators to join us until Thursday and currently have 5-spaces available to reach our current capacity.
Leave a 🌳 in the comments or message me if you’d like full details.
With you in Circle in these (r)evolutionary times
Mitlé 🌳🙏🏻🧡
