😳 this is new for me… i hope you’ll love it


omg, you’re still here Reader?! i didn’t scare you off as i stepped out of the broom closet?!

😅

{not sure what i'm talking about? check out my last two missives HERE.}

i’m so glad you’re sticking around. especially since i have something exciting to share with you…

for the past 3 years i’ve wanted to build community around the Holy Days in the Wheel of the Year. the Quarter Days {Solstices and Equinoxes} are my favorite days to slip into the woods and remember how Gaia, the green world, holds us so sweetly and guides us so wisely.

but my favorite way to celebrate the High Holy Days {like next week’s Summer Solstice} is to be in ceremony with others who want to honor the Earth’s turning in community.

join me on Wednesday, June 19th @ 5pm EDT for a FREE online women’s gathering: THE LITHA SPIRAL

In the Celtic tradition, this point in our Sun's cycle is known as Midsummer, or Litha—the peak of summertime when the Sun bathes us in its full light.

Come join Em {that’s me! 👋}, founder & ritualist behind Garden of the Moon, in a FREE community gathering to honor this potent Holy Day in the Wheel of the Year and connect the dots to your own Inner Solstice within your monthly menstrual cycle & lifecycles.

What to expect during our time together...

🌅 An exploration of the Wheel of the Year and how this is mirrored in the female body, our monthly menstrual cycle, and overarching seasons of life

🌅 We'll reflect on the intentions you entered into the year with, the magic you've made so far, and what shifts you want to make for the second half of the year

🌅 A Guided Journey to explore how the energies of Summer Solstice are meant to move through you and your unique gifts

🌅 Ritual ideas for you to celebrate the Solstice {happening the day after our gathering on June 20th — exact at 4:50 PM EDT}

🌅 Herbal allies for you to call upon during this high season of Light

Be sure to bring with you to our gathering...

📓 a journal, or paper & pen

🕯️ a candle and lighter

🫖 a cup of your favorite tea or nourishing beverage

😌 set up a cozy space beforehand {bonus points if you're able to join us from a spot where you can bask in the Sun while we journey!}

{Yes! The recording will be sent out within 24 hours after the gathering}

Any questions? Hit reply, and it’ll come straight to my inbox!

Can't wait to be in ceremony with you to honor this high Holy Day 🥰

Big Love, all ways always

Hey there Reader, I haven’t known how to write this — something to summarize my time in ceremony on the Olympic Peninsula last month with the men’s group Sacred Sons for their first co-ed gather, Convergence. But y'all are curious cats and I keep getting requests to share more — so let's give it a go... 📸 by @cam.naga I’ve been quietly fan-girling Sacred Sons for years via Instagram and followed their work as an intentional “Expander” for what I (hoped) was possible around the kind of man I...

Hey dear Reader, This week has felt heavy... But I know it's not just this particular past week as my family waited to see what would happen to my parents' home in Sarasota, FL. And it's not just the tears from watching entire Appalachian towns wiped off the map. And it's not just the anger as the American government continues to funnel money to wars overseas while citizen heroes are threatened for helping neighbors evacuate. It's all of it. It's the times we're in — this uncovering of the...

hey Reader, here’s the thing… I get that talking about the Wheel of the Year may seem a little… random? out there? sort of like… “who actually cares?”… most you found your way to me because I was sharing exclusively about cycle syncing and balancing hormones for our female bodies — which is an important topic! but like I shared last month, that was kind of a cop-out for me. But this — talking about the deeper aspects that have been part of my healing path {that I hope will serve you well,...
