The holiday season can be busy, bringing all kinds of mixed feelings along with it. So let's gather with new and old friends for a cozy, crafty evening of reflection, creativity, and gratitude.
Together, we'll dream up simple gratitude practices: little things we can do to notice, appreciate, and celebrate the good in our lives.
Then we'll decorate our own little takeout boxes with collage materials and exchange our practices with one another. Think Valentine's Day mailboxes from elementary school, but instead of candy and cards, we're sharing tiny acts of gratitude.
You'll go home with a box full of surprises. Each day leading up to the winter solstice, pull out a slip of paper and try the practice someone in our circle dreamed up for you. You won't know what you're getting until you open it!
Whether the darkening days make you feel cozy and delighted, lonely and frazzled, or anything in between, come spend an evening making something lovely with your community.
All supplies will be provided, but you're welcome to bring any crafting materials you especially enjoy.
What to expect:
Each moon circle includes a beginner-friendly practice inspired by the theme of that particular new or full moon. You'll have time for individual reflection and an opportunity to share and connect with the group.
Bring a journal, a pen, and a mug for tea.
Please note that doors open at 6:45 and close at 7:10 so we can settle into our practice. We'll end at 8:30, with time to linger and visit in the space until 9:00.
I want these gatherings to be accessible, so moon circles are offered on a sliding scale. Read the descriptions and choose the tier that best fits your situation:
I can pay it forward | $30
I’m financially comfortable. I can regularly afford extras like eating out, subscriptions, travel, and event tickets. I’ll pay it forward and help offset the cost for others who are struggling.
I've got it covered | $20
I feel financial stress at times, but I regularly manage to pay my bills. I may cut back on a meal out or a couple coffees to make it work, but I can do that.
I welcome some assistance | $10
I don’t have financial reserves and/or I have looming debt, but I'll contribute what I can.
