What will happen
Gathering around the fire
Coming together to open the circle.
Lunar exploration
Ali and Vicky will each offer something inspired by the Worm Moon. 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 - or clapping, dancing, using a shaker, whatever suits. Use a saucepan and spoon, put rice in a pot to shake. Anything goes. If you just want to watch or rest, that's fine.
As Zoom isn't a fan of drumming, we'll mute ourselves. Hoping to get a drumming track sorted for this get together.
Moon-weaving
An open conversation growing out of the gathering. Contribute through Chat if your prefer or just listen.
Farewell to the fire
Closing the circle.
What you may like to have with you:
Something to light as part of opening the circle - a candle, lamp, fairy lights etc. - that can remain lit throughout the gathering until the end
A brew, blankets, cushions
A drum, rattle or other percussion instrument
Pen, paper, art materials
Ear defenders, fidget toy or other accessory
How it is neuro-friendly
-
You contribute just by coming. There is no demand to do anything. It's all just invitation.
-
While we'd welcome everyone coming together for the opening and closing of the circle, that's the only time. Otherwise, you can turn your camera off, move about, take a break.
-
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. This means more of a somatic, whole-body approach where movement is welcomed. It can be better for neurodivergent nervous systems than neurotypical practices like mindfulness, meditation and breathwork.
-
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.
