Working with the 28.5 day Moon cycle we gather in circle, bringing in our higher selves to align with our highest good. With gratitude established as the foundation for our efforts, we select a simple but important intention that we want to call in. Small, positive changes work wonders in creating quality in life. We establish the steps required to support this change and we set a course for its manifestation.
We have 25 New Moon's behind us and who knows how many more in front of us. These gatherings offer up generous support from amazing people from all ages, all walks of life, both genders, diverse lifestyles and more. This blend of sweet humans creates a secure place for growth. These people are always kind, humble, honest and real with themselves and each other. These people offer a great capacity for love and compassion for themselves and each other.
Many of the participants of the New Moon groups who have dedicated themselves to this practice have accomplished many small but important things. This has given them larger portions of gratitude. This has provided them with the tools, the understanding and the practices for moving up to even bigger and better intentions. After 25 months of this we are seeing some amazing things happen.
If you are interested in joining us or if you have questions please call.

SPIRIT STORMING CIRCLES
What is Spirit Storming?Spirit Storming is about coming together for
communication and understanding direct from Spirit. After establishing Sacred Space, we open up in a silent meditation. The
focus of this is to allow our innate and intuitive "guidance", or our inner knowing to
simply be. We spend a few minutes taking note of the information that
we receive. From there the communication flows with
whatever Spirit places between us.
With open hearts we will release the outcome to allow Spirit to prevail.
With the
intention set of holding the highest good/frequency/vibration it is an open awareness circle. These
circles are a cooperative of Spirit and the participants in circle. It
is a powerful, multi-dimensional journey filled with splendid energy,
love and more.
This circle is limited to 10 participants, no
late arrival and no early departure allowed as the energy is set to a
unified group opportunity.
If you are interested in joining us or if you
have questions please call 805-760-8399 ... thank you.

SPRING EQUINOX VISION CIRCLE ~ This is the time for RESOLUTIONS
We've got it wrong when we set our resolutions on New Year's Day of any year. In January it is winter time and the days are short and the nights are long. We would prefer to respond to our natural instincts for rest and regeneration instead of react to a mainstream tradition of "get up and go".
Spring is the natural time for rebirth, change and new growth. The trees are pushing leaves from the branches and the flowers are starting to burst from the Earth. The days are growing longer and warmer and from this we naturally have more energy. This is the time to call on the energy of the season and make things happen.
Spring Equinox Vision Circle is based on the idea of "the magic refrigerator". In the old days it was believe that if you put the picture of Hawaii, the "Pin-Up Girl" or "Mister Universe" image (lose weight or get in shape) or the new car you wanted on the front of the refrigerator you would get there, be that or drive it. The refrigerator was the vision board or life map of today.
On a Saturday or Sunday close to Spring Equinox we gather together around a number of tables. We have our magazines, google (internet) images printed, photos, travel brochures, class schedules and more in front of us. We use glue sticks, scissors, pens and crayons and our imaginations. We put it all together to create the visual of what we want to manifest in the future.
We create an image of our visions on a board because "seeing is believing".

Taking Counsel in a Circle ... From "The Daily OM"
Hearing the "One Voice
Gathering" in a circle is the perfect container to hear our truths as there are no hard edges, only endless support.
When we sit in a circle together and share our thoughts and feelings,
we participate in a powerful, unifying practice whose origins stem from
the very beginning of human time. All early cultures practiced some
form of this ritual, which gives each individual in the group a voice,
and at the same time reveals the one voice, and the ultimate unity, of
the group. This profound and simple way of talking and listening has
experienced a modern rebirth in counseling, social work, and
spirituality.
Most circles benefit from the presence of a leader who opens the circle
by calling in angels, spirit guides, and ancestors—beings of light who
will be present with those taking counsel. The leader may announce a
theme for the circle, or one may simply evolve from the unstructured
expressions of each participant. The circle continues for as long as
feels right, at which point the leader may summarize what has been
said, perhaps leading everyone in a moment of silence before the circle
disbands. One of the most powerful components of this work is the
talking stick, which can be any object—a crystal, a flower, or a
candle—that is passed around the circle from person to person. The
person holding the object speaks until he has fully expressed his
feelings, and no one else interjects, interrupts, or even responds
until they are holding the stick. This enables people who have a hard
time speaking out to express long buried feelings and points of view.
This is powerful because in a! community it is often what is not said
or acknowledged that causes the most pain and suffering.
The circle, which contains no hard edges or angles, is the ideal
container for these difficult truths. As we hear the many perspectives
the subject at hand inspires, we begin to see that our individual truth
is just one of many. Our own hard edges begin to soften as the circle
flows from one person to the next, and each wave of words cleanses us
of one more layer of mental and emotional armor, freeing us to be
closer to the people around us. Try using counsel during your next
family meeting, school class, or any setting where you feel a centering
communication method is needed.
