Full Moon Gathering this Friday via Zoom

Thanksgiving:
Right now it’s hot coffee and cloudy skies and palm trees that wave in the wind like skinny junior high school me doing the snake to Nasty Boys Don’t Mean a Thing when nasty boys meant everything and it’s this warm knit hat over these thin silvering hairs over jumbled memories of home and holidays and 5 million and counting gone and me here alive and you here too alive and it’s unfathomable and still it’s real and it's right now and it's the skinny National Guardsboy doing some new snake laughing with friends before walking over and pricking me with unexpected tenderness through the car window and then waiting 15 minutes just to make sure I'm okay and right now I'm here still alive and you're here too still alive right now giving thanks alive giving thanks alive giving thanks.

🙏

FULL Moon Gathering 🌕 This Friday!

November 19, 6PM PST via Zoom

:::::::::::::::::::

There will be no reminder email for this gathering so please mark your calendars!

One of the most venerated and widespread symbols in our cultural/religious heritage, the bull is most often associated with wealth, power and potency. The words for cattle and capitalism share the same etymological root. Our earliest cave paintings include the bull, illustrating how the power of nature was harnessed to create the very first civilizations.

In western astrology, the moon is considered “exalted” when she travels through the constellation of Taurus. Perhaps the brawny bull provides the safest passage for our sensitive/emotional/inner (moon) selves.

For our final full moon gathering of 2021, let’s swathe ourselves in the stable energy of this Taurus Moon for some grounding and tending. Through guided meditation and a specific form of gratitude practice, we'll take honest stock of our current “capital” to form a clear image of who and where we are at this particular juncture in our lives. By looking from the outside in, we will unburden ourselves from the past and plant ourselves firmly, bullheadedly into the present, so that our future can be built on solid ground.

Here's what to expect at the full moon gathering.
Donation-based. Most folks contribute $10-25. (Low on funds? You're still always welcome.)
So that I can sustain this work, please forward this email to those who might benefit.

NEW Moon Gathering 🌑 December 3, 6PM PST

In these (also online) gatherings, I pull some tarot which acts as a springboard into group sharing. We set our intentions on the new moon and we examine our successes and challenges from the last cycle. If you're looking for community in these trying times, this gathering is for you. More here.

gratefully,
wade
