The Wise & Well

Service Description

The Wise and Well: A Women’s Gathering for Harvest Time Join us for a women’s gathering that connects here now to there then. Many traditions have celebrations this time of year – Samhain in Celtic, Day of the Dead in Mexico, All Saints Day in Catholicism, Pitr Paksha in Hindu. We will enter into this sacred time together with sweet gratitude and humility for the people that have brought us into this present moment. Before circle, take a few moments to consider the gifts and blessings of your lineage as well as the toil and trouble. What to Bring: If you feel called, bring or wear something that reminds you of a beloved “wise and well” ancestor – a piece of jewelry, something they baked well to share with the group, something they loved that you have acquired and so on. (Note: It is not recommended to bring anything from an ancestor who was troubled, harsh, very traumatized, or in other words, ‘unwise and unwell”). Dress how you like and come as you are! Maybe you dress up and wear grandmom’s favorite earrings. Or your favorite sweats on a Friday night. We will not be doing yoga but there may be light movement. Bring comfort items like slippers, a favorite blanket, eye pillow for Storytime and beyond. Bring a journal and favorite writing or art utensils depending on how you journal. Bring a tarot or oracle deck. Extra decks will be on hand so no worries if you don’t have one. As always, you can bring something for the circle center that will be released into local waters in prayer.
