This Circle Includes:

• New Moon Intention Setting
• Group Sharing

Beginner's Mind:

A beginner arrives unprejudiced & open minded, making every little thing full of wonder. It is how a child feels as they discover the world for the first time. Do you remember your first snowfall? Your first time in the ocean? Your first crush? Things are new & exciting to the virgin, but start to lose their wonder & excitement as they become ordinary.

"In the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few."

- Shunryu Suzuki Roshi in Zen Mind: Beginner's Mind

"The way out of that flattened attitude towards life can be found by becoming a beginner again... By throwing all the windows & doors of your life wide open & forgetting that you once knew what the wind was. By spreading your hands & fingers & feeling the thing you call wind."

- Geertje Coulwenbergh in The Magic of a Beginner's Mind

Intention Setting:

The New Moon is a sacred time when the moon is dark, at the end of one cycle & beginning of another. In this circle, we will set intentions for the New Moon Cycle ahead.

Location:

The meeting spot for this circle is at Luna's home, along the shore of Arrowhead Mountain Lake. The exact address will be sent after completing registration & is approximately 25 minutes from Burlington or about 2 minutes off of Exit 18. During this circle, we will head across the street to the Russell Greene Natural Area for a nature walk. Please bring bug spray.

In case of rain, the event will held in the bell tent with slight modifications to our event itinerary.

Registration is Required:

Space is limited to the first thirteen women who register in order to preserve the circle's intimacy & connection.

We are using a sliding scale of $15 - $35 for tickets to help make this event affordable to more women. If you won't notice an extra $10 or $20 out of your bank account, please consider paying more than the minimum requirement. We pour a lot of time, energy, & love into holding these circles & hope for a reciprocal exchange.

Trans-women welcome. Ages 13+ only.
