New Moon in Cancer - Moon Gatherings

Dear sisters, 

Welcome to the Moon Gatherings 2023!!
I am Ibelisse, I practice earth centred medicine and ritual for about 25 years. I am a medicine woman, an artist and a space holder. I have initiated the Moon Gatherings in the beginning of 2020, which is a ceremony space, a temple and a place for radical listening. I feel deeply honoured and humbled that this circle has had the opportunity to develop into a space of deep sharing, healing and the building of an incredible community of sisters. This initiative is an umbrella that embraces practices that are in synergy with the call of the earth, which comes from a deep connection I nurture with how my ancestors have practiced their ways of life, inherent to my roots and heritage as Bolivian/Brazilian. My mission is to create a space of radical reciprocity, while honouring expansion and letting the spirit of the circle do its magic.

Welcome to this growing web of seed planters, artists, shapeshifters, non conformists, radical care takers, listeners and sanctuary creators.

We welcome you to join us in ceremony!
NEW MOON in CANCER- Held by Elsa May Averill
July 6th

THEME OF THE EVENING
New Moons are potent portals to plant intentions, it is the portal where the moon's cycle starts anew. We carve this space for us in order to have the opportunity to reset and step into the sacred. The potent New Moon medicine.

Dear sisters,
Something powerful happens when we sit together in ceremony. As Grandma Dawn from the sacred fire ceremony says: when we share our sorrows they divide, when we share our joys they multiply. To me that is why we have these new moon gatherings, to carry the weight of the world together, to be in awe and in gratitude together, to nurture, cry and laugh together. It is something personal, it is something communal and it is something political. We live in a world that is fast, harsh, violent and what is needed now, more than ever is the gentle, fierce, compassionate feminine power. Let’s gather to be reminded, let’s gather to realign. Let’s gather to send blessings and courage to all of our sisters around the world. You are welcome in our lovely garden in Culemborg.
We will light the fire at 8pm.
You are welcome to arrive and settle in from 7pm onward.
Love and blessings
Elsa
