Over dit evenement
āHere is the world of imagination, hopes, and dreams. In this timeless land of enchantment, the age of chivalry, magic and make-believe are reborn - and fairy tales come true. Fantasyland is dedicated to the young-in-heart, to those who that when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true.ā
Welcome to The Sacred Fairytale Gathering š§āāļøš - a celebration of the autumn equinox and our unique cosmic and fairy natures, hosted by Mid Summer Circle and LeilArts.
In the enchanted storybook of Frankendael park of Amsterdam, in an undisclosed and hidden nature spot behind the bushes, we will gather to celebrate the abundant harvest days by co-creating a magical and sacred space together, guided by elements and materials from nature. Each will bring out unique gifts to the celebration, so we can prepare collectively for the darker days to come and to manifest your wishes towards the light. We will intuitively play different fairytale archetypes and roles in the story, forging deeper connections with each other in the ancient āvillageā setting that brings us and spirits together in harmony.
THE FLOW
We will open the circle on time at 17:00. We will get to know each other through partnered rituals, and will each have a chance to uncover a secret shamanic name that may light our own paths through the months of darkness ahead. Then, we will begin the Sacred Fairytale; a magical storytelling that we will weave together guided by the provided and found nature materials, and our own creative gifts around a sacred fire. Costumes, body and face paint will be provided if you wish to add a bit of harvest magic to your own appearance and flavor. A nature mandala ritual will be co-created and then removed at the closing leaving no trace.
As the sun goes down, our own fairies inside just can't wait to come out to play and connect, with music, dancing, singing, stories, poems, and a potluck sharing, just like the good old times. We will end with a closing circle at around 20:30.
