À propos de cet événement
Dear sisters,
Welcome to the Moon Gatherings 2023!!
I am Ibelisse, I practice earth centred medicine and ritual for about 25 years. I am a medicine woman, an artist and a space holder. I have initiated the Moon Gatherings in the beginning of 2020, which is a ceremony space, a temple and a place for radical listening. I feel deeply honoured and humbled that this circle has had the opportunity to develop into a space of deep sharing, healing and the building of an incredible community of sisters. This initiative is an umbrella that embraces practices that are in synergy with the call of the earth, which comes from a deep connection I nurture with how my ancestors have practiced their ways of life, inherent to my roots and heritage as Bolivian/Brazilian. My mission is to create a space of radical reciprocity, while honouring expansion and letting the spirit of the circle do its magic.
Welcome to this growing web of seed planters, artists, shapeshifters, non conformists, radical care takers, listeners and sanctuary creators.
Ibelisse, Raquel, Elsa, Inez, Teresa, Shailoh, Julie, Amber and Ruth

NEW MOON in LEO- Held by Shailoh Phillips
August 4th
THEME OF THE EVENING
For this new moon in Leo, we welcome the tribe of sisters of all generations - the (inner) children, the grown-ups, the elders and our ancestors at the height of the harvest season. Welcome to the trans and cis kin, divine non-binary systers, earth-loving babies, children, queens, elders, wild dancers, quiet hermits, the keepers of the not-yet. Let us gather this summer and celebrate life in all forms!
Come sit with us in ceremony and listen to the rhythms and cycles of the living world. Listen to the wind, the water, the fire and the earth. Listen to each other.
Shailoh will be the spaceholder for this new moon circle, pouring in some shimmering energies from a year of holding queer full moon sanctuary and giving birth to new life. We will gather in the afternoon, with a shared community picknick afterwards.
Who else would be able to join and help prepare by bringing some tea and arriving around 13.30 to help set up? 🙏❣🙏
With love from Shailoh and the moon sisters
