What perfect timing for the last circle of the year!!!
A new moon in Sagittarius was the perfect day to celebrate with each other!!!
I planned a lot for us. We collaged for an hour then created a Flower Mandala Offering and we were having a clothing swap! A friend had called me the day before who had some clothes to give away so in the busy time of the year I went and picked up the clothes and the flowers in the morning before our circle. Raga and Adrianne arrived to participate in the collage hour and I set up while they dug into the process. Karen and Joi arrived just in time to start the flower mandala offering,
We prayed silently while walking clockwise around the circle. I have found I do not want to use many words these days and fortunately we have a sincere established circle with heartfelt intentions.
Next we noticed the prayer flags were tattered so we hung new green Tara prayer flags. All were involved in the process as the sun started to set over the ocean in what is called the golden hour for a very good reason!!!!
Barbara arrived and we went straight into dancing the full Mandala with 6. It was a perfect practice and we each dedicated the merit, going around the circle to share our dedication.
Next we shared some food, did the clothing swap and all were happy as we ended our last circle with a very strong intention to benefit all beings everywhere without exception!!! I am so grateful for the consistent circle that comes and goes ebbs and flows and continues year after year.
It gives me strength and stability to show up and see the glow of each one of us as we go deep into our meditative and very sacred and deep dance practice.
Something about the new moon from the power path! In effect for some time ahead!
Sending much love to all and see you in 2024!!! May we all know peace!!! Pia
