What will happen
Gathering around the fire
Coming together to open the circle. You are invited to light something - a candle, lamp, fairy lights etc - that can remain lit throughout the gathering until the end.
Lunar exploration
Ali and Vicky will each offer something inspired by the Flower Moon and Beltane. This is likely to involve different kinds of creative interaction. It's all just an invite - only do what you're comfortable with.
Full Moon drumming
Drumming together to a re-recorded track - or clapping, dancing, using a rattle, whatever suits. Anything goes. If you just want to watch or rest, that's fine.
Moon-weaving
If there's time, an open conversation growing out of the gathering. Contribute through Chat if your prefer or just listen.
Farewell to the fire
Closing the circle.
How it is neuro-friendly
-
You contribute just by coming. There is no demand to do anything. It's all just invitation.
-
Keep your camera off or turn it off whenever you like.
-
You don't have to sit still staring at the screen. You can look away, stim, change position - whatever helps you regulate and feel comfortable.
-
No hierarchy - we're all important, we all matter. These circles are about coming together to co-create. Each time will be a unique collaborative event.
-
The circle will be held in a way to encourage co-regulation, helping to ease the nervous system.
-
You are welcome to get in touch before or after a circle to share any needs you might have.
IMPORTANT: By the nature of this work, some powerful stuff may come up at times. While Ali is trained/experienced in offering emotional support and holding space, everyone is responsible for themselves during the gatherings and taking care of their own wellbeing.
Come, sisters, gather in circle.
Bring a seat of your choosing
– rocking chair, rug, stool;
a throne, if you’re so inclined.
We are all queens, sovereign to ourselves.
Show up as you like; nothing is fixed.
We’re curators of this liminal space.
Sit, sisters,
around this communal fire we’ve made.
Settle yourselves.
We’ll begin.
