We open with opening: the lineages we hold live within us, but we do not often have conscious access to them. In this gathering we meet each other and those we brought with us in spirit. We use somatic and witchy exercises to move with trust into relationship building with our ancestors, in order to receive teachings and guidance.

In this gathering we will:

-Identify some of our lineages, and share what stories we have and do not have

-Enter into ritual and dream work around deepening mysticism (meet some ancestors)

-Set intentions for gnostic guidance in this next season; commit to an Ancestor practice and/or Dreamwork for the next few months

We follow with planting: with the wisdom we have received and the relationships we have nurtured, we set out to contribute to something new (in our lives, in the world). We plant our intention for the year.

In this gathering we will:

-Share out our experiences from the past few months; practice holding space for each other and this aspect of liberation work

-Share and explore the story of Brigid/St. Brigid in Her complexity and applicability to our own lives (Goddess energy, colonialism, and modern lineage repair)

-Plant the seeds of our personal growth over the coming months; with the wisdom we’ve gathered over the past few months, we plant the seeds of our intention for this Year and a Day journey

We come together to IGNITE our work. The Earth is awakening and we are entering the fertile, vital months of our year. We call out the hard things—the problematic things, the stuck things—that we have encountered in our practices thus far, and we open ourselves to the sacred fire that illuminates and purges. We commit to a season of wild growth. We live into the sacredness of our bodies; what they hold and how we use them.

In this gathering we will:

-Share out our experiences from the past few months, holding space especially for things that are bursting forth and things that are super hard.

-Release and re-align with our purposes and intentions

-Recieve and share energy work,

-Engage practices that bring us into our Bodies even as we focus on the mystic and spiritual

We harvest and synthesize the experiences of the past 3 seasons, specifically leaning into how our initial intentions shaped our practices and where we find ourselves now. Analysis and reflection in sacred community. Naming the fruits of our labors that we’ve already gathered, and noticing what it is we are still tending.

In this gathering we will

-Share out our experiences of this endeavor thus far, specifically focusing on how we have evolved and shifted; how our intentions and practices have shaped and moved us

-Identify the integration within ourselves of Lineage, Land, Decolonization, Spirituality, and Liberation

-Use somatic and witchy practices to continue relationship with the Land and what we are harvesting, what we are still tending

-Build Ritual together in preparation for our group Dedication in November

We hold witness and sacred space for each other in ritual. We Mark the Year and a Day of study and practice we have each undertaken, and now dedicate ourselves to a Thing (very individualized; can be a role, can be a journey, can be a tradition or a practice…). There will be food and celebration!

In this gathering we will:

-Hold space for and perform everyone’s initiation ceremonies

-Celebrate!

-Award Certificates of Completion to folks who do!! Thank you!!
