Descent to the Underworld | Virtual Shadow Work Group

Zoom

FREE VIRTUAL COMMUNITY SHADOW WORK GROUP - Meeting the last Friday of every month - starting in January 2025 we will meet virtually every other month, and in person the months in between. VIRTUAL MONTHSJanuary, March, May, July, September Register at the link provided with your email ((If you are new, we always give a brief introduction to shadow work, so all levels of knowledge and experience are welcome. If you've heard of the term, or have wanted to learn more about shadow work, please feel free to join us!)) Whether you're thinking about the opportunity to delve into shadow work, choosing to already engage in shadow work, or the world is "giving" you the opportunity to take a walk into the underworld whether you like it or not, having a community supporting you along the path is vital. This small group's goal is to provide a safe and sacred space where we will descend together and explore the shadows we encounter along the way. Facilitators are trained and experienced in a variety of practical and experiential methods and modalities to guide you to a deeper awareness of who you are at your most authentic core level, how to face your shadows and how to decide whether to integrate, release or accept the shadows you find along the way. There is absolutely nothing like having a compassionate community beside you during this intense and deeply emotional self-reflection work. A community is a cauldron where the medicine of transformation can occur - often more rapidly than going it alone. This group's intention is to provide...- An open, accepting and sacred space for authentic discussion.- Resources, including journaling prompts and monthly assignments to assist you to delve deeper than surface level into your shadow.- Guidance and encouragement as we descend into the underworld together.- Opportunity to learn and use healing modalities and tools such as EFT (tapping), meditation, intuition, archetypal studies, spiritual art techniques, journaling, dreamwork, oracle/tarot readings & ritual.- Introduction to energies to support your process including Ascended Masters, Angels & Gods & Goddesses of the Underworld such as Persephone. This is an interfaith healing group and ALL are welcome, though members should be aware that our regular facilitators come from an earth-centered, pagan world view and ask that you be open to learning other holistic and metaphysical concepts from various viewpoints and spiritualities. This support group is FREE but donations welcome; all donations for this event are given to the nonprofit Greenwild Spiritual Fellowship. You may use Paypal (paypal.me/3RaysofLight), Venmo (@melaborawski) or CashApp ($PBorawski).

Full Moon Ritual | Fire & Ash

Awen Grove 2620 Sharpes Hill Rd, Gaston, SC, United States

The blood moon eclipse will have taken place very early Friday morning (totality here in SC 2:26-3:30AM), so let's meet Friday night when that energy is still crackling in the air and work magick under the full moon! Friday - March 14 | 7-8pm Bring - camp chair water bottle anything you want to burn in the bonfire to release Our Fire & Ash Ritual will focus on RELEASE, HEALING & PROTECTION as you go forward in life. We will be having a fire. Bring anything that you'd like to burn that would give you a release from something or someone that's been holding you back. Perhaps you need to forgive yourself and heal the pain, and there's something symbolic you could throw in the fire. Maybe it's a piece of a wedding dress or veil, letters, journal, stuffed animal - Maybe it's a newspaper article - it doesn't matter - it's it is a heavy burden and symbolic (or related) to that burden, bring it to burn in our bonfire. We'll have paper and pen available for you to write letters or lists or names to burn as well. We will do energy healing once we've released to fill those voids with love, healing and confidence to move forward. We'll end our time with the creation of a protection sigil you can use going forward.
