Our evening will begin with an evolutionary astrological exploration of Taurus energy. We’ll explore the high potentials and also possible pitfalls within the spectrum of Taurus. There will be space for discussion and sharing. Please feel free to bring a journal or notebook if you wish to jot anything down.

Then, we will move into a mostly nonverbal journey into Taurean experience through Organic Movement to Music (with curated Taurean vibes) + Grounding Support Circles. For the circles, we will constellate into smaller groups and each person will have the opportunity to be situated in a comfy nest (lying down or seated, etc) in the center of their small group circle. From this place, they can request the kinds of physical or non-physical/energetic support they’d like to receive from the beings in their group. Physical touch is completely optional – both on the giving side and the receiving.

In a nutshell, the feedback I’ve gotten from people who’ve experienced Grounding Support Circles (sometimes referred to as Healing Circles) is: “Why don’t we gather and do this all the time?!”

TAURUS is the first earth sign of the zodiac…primal earth, animal body, nervous system…and so deeply about learning how to slow down and cultivate moments and practices of simplicity, ease, rest, relaxation, release of tension, nourishment, sensuality (senses alive and aware), pleasure and peace. It’s these states of being that support sustainability. More on all of this when we meet!

Please wear clothing in which you feel most comfortable and at ease. Masks are required for this gathering.

Under this Virgo Moon, we gather to explore Virgo’s down-to-earth, ever-learning and improving, service-oriented energy in our bodies, minds and hearts through ORGANIC MOVEMENT TO MUSIC followed by a SHARING RITUAL OF HUMILITY & GRATITUDE to honor those (human and more-than-human) who teach us, mentor us and guide us in our evolution, in how to become better human beings…those who illuminate our path and deeply influence our becoming.

Virgo has a great deal to do with the motivation to develop and refine a craft or skill set and the effort, dedication and humility it often takes to do so. If you have a mentor/teacher/guide in this realm that you wish to honor, this is one option.

No matter what area of your life and learning you choose to focus upon, this Virgo Moon ritual is an opportunity, if desired, to express your gratitude and appreciation publicly for one of your teachers, mentors or guides (again, human and/or more-than-human).

Each of us will have the opportunity to offer gratitude in any way we wish…our offerings/expression may be through spoken words, song, gesture, movement, artwork, flowers, food…the possibilities are infinite. As part of your gratitude and honoring of your teacher, please feel free to share with the circle a nugget of your teacher/mentor/guide’s wisdom.

If you’d like, please feel free to bring an item(s) for the altar that represents or reminds you of the teacher/mentor/guide you wish to honor and the gifts they have given/are giving to you. You’re welcome to share about what you bring for the altar as part of your part of the ritual. Each person will have 2-3 minutes for their part. If you have any questions about all of this, please ask!
