| An Exploration of Women's Spiritual Journeys... Past, Present and Future |
| HearthStone Circle (formerly WomanSpirit Rising) A Monthly Circle for Women HearthStone Circle is a women's circle that honors the Feminine Divine and celebrates women's ways of knowing. Through rituals based in Women's Mysteries, specifically those of European Shamanism, our Circle focuses on the Goddess as the primary creative source in the universe and in the lives of women. Through ritual, education and building community, we seek to re-member the religion of the Mother Goddess and incorporate Her-story into the cultural mythology of our time. Our spirituality is earth-honoring and woman-affirming and predates all patriarchal religions for... She is older than and Creatrix of all that is! Once a month, we gather in circle to explore the rich tapestry of women's spiritual traditions - past, present and future. It is a time to experience ritual, create intimacy and forge bonds with your sisters of like mind. Each Circle focuses on where we are on the Wheel of the Year and how that manifests in the cycles of women's lives. Rituals include a formal learning as well as experiential activities such as creating an altar, meditation, and other aspects of women's rituals and women's ways of knowing. We read relevant materials, watch videos, engage in spiritual art making, etc. All activities are celebrations and/or releases based on the learning for that Circle and the HolyDay of the Wheel of The Year. Come explore the rich tapestry that is women's spirituality, meet your sisters of like mind and grow from your own experience of the Feminine Divine. ~*~Women Only Please~*~ $10.00*** (No one turned away for lack of funds!) ***Registration Greatly Appreciated*** For more information Contact ~*~Location~*~ Circles held at Spirit House unless otherwise specified.

| *** WomanSpirit is another term for the movement that came out of the 60's and 70's whose focus was the reclamation of women's knowledge and power and rebirth of nature-centered spirituality. WomanSpirit Rising became the title of a publication that explored the resurgence of Goddess Spirituality and growth of Feminist Thealogy. Weaving The Visions was the second publication in this vein. It is this from these inspirations that I reverently borrow these terms. (From Weaving The Visions by Judith Plaskow and Carol Christ) Descriptions and Ideas of Past Circles |
