End of 2021

GOOD GRIEF! Has it really been almost six months (August 2021) since I last posted here?
Well..... definitely time to post!

So..... Thank all that is that 2021 is coming to an end. However, I am deeply grateful and honoured to have been and to continue to be the teach of many students. It is unfortunate that the Omicron variant of covid has instigated yet another lockdown. HANG IN THERE!

July Vacation!

Have you noticed that we are quiet?

We are concluding the last classes of the last sessions, collecting and correcting homework assignments, and taking a well-earned rest.

WE ARE ON VACATION!

We will announce the upcoming sessions and programs for September by August 1st when early registration opens up. The Open House is loosely scheduled for a day on the Labour Day weekend, but the exact day is yet to be determined.

Watch for the next bit of news on August 1st!

Have a wonderful summer vacation, everyone!

Summer Begins!

By the gods! Can you believe that summer is already here?! The heat waves make it rather clear. Please protect yourself during the heat waves that are hitting us early this June. Here is what to look forward to this June 2021.

Solar Eclipse Ring of Fire
(partial eclipse showing a fiery ring of light)
Thursday June 10th at 6:53am
This is a meeting of Sun and Moon for establishing balance in your life, as well as harnessing the protective energy of a ring of fire.
WATCH SAFELY!
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/solar-eclipse-ring-of-fire-how-to-watch/

Dark Moon
Thursday June 10th
This Dark Moon is for letting go the chaos of the changing seasons, for stepping outside and sitting in the quiet of Nature, and for purifying yourself to be ready for Summer to come.

New Waxing Crescent Moon
(Diana Bow)
Sunday June 13th
Make a new commitment for the month to improve your well-being. Plan to start a summer project.

** If you have not yet been vaccinated, we STRONGLY recommend you do so ASAP.
This Month, everyone who has had their first vaccine may also start booking for their second one.
HUZZAH! **

Father's Day
Sunday June 20th
Do something different, do something classic, explore something historical. Celebrate honorable fathers in history. Celebrate your father (if you have one, if he is worthy of your honoring him), or your best father-figure in your life (there are amazing dad's out there willing to adopt you for a day and be your mentor), by rediscovering history together. Our suggestion: go to a history museum.

Midsummer (Litha)
Monday June 21st
Public ritual TBA hosted by Mountain City Cabbats

Full Strawberry Rose Moon
Thursday June 24th 7-8pm
This moon is for celebrating your achievements! Prepares some strawberries and some chocolate fondue or whipping cream (or both, both is good). As this is also associated with Holly, it is a time for taking action and defining our spiritual steps forward. What do you intend the second half of the year to look like?

May Event

May has been very busy as we translate materials for French courses and start the editing process for the coming September sessions. We apologize for not sending out a newsletter this month is the busy-ness of our month.

We are also working out Summer events, workshops, and activities so stay tuned!

For the moment, here is what is coming up at the end of this month.

May Full Flower Moon Ritual

Tuesday, May 25th, 7pm

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84776959781

Welcome to this Full Flower Moon.

 

This is a time where flowers are plentiful (April showers have brought the May flowers). This is a time for working on your commitments to people and to the Divine. It is an ideal time for renewing your vows.

 

The Oak tree is sacred in Celtic traditions this time of year. The Oak can be used for protection, strength, building foundations, Druidry, hospitality, and leadership.

You need: an oak leaf (or one cut out of colored paper), a 6-sided die, and three different flowers

Donations of $5-10 help cover the costs of ZOOM Pro in order to continue offering these online. Please sent donations to:

Love is in the Air / L'amour est dans l'air

Courting your spiritual education is giving your soul some love.

At the last Full Moon, I asked what does your Soul hunger for? We all have different answers for what that may be. Bottom line is that your soul has a need that you must listen to. It is time to court... yourself! Give yourself some love; give your soul some love. You deserve it. You are worth it!

This means that it is time to do some growing and expanding, some creating and exploring, some learning! If you missed the Open House, don't worry! You can still register for the CMS Level 1 that starts February 6th at 11am. Go to our Registration Page and sign up now!

-----

 

Courtiser votre éducation spirituelle, c'est donner un peu d'amour à votre âme. Lors de la dernière Pleine Lune, j'ai demandé de quoi votre âme avait-elle faim? Nous avons tous des réponses différentes pour ce que cela peut être. En fin de compte, votre âme a un besoin que vous devez écouter. Il est temps de se courtiser ... vous-même! Donnez-vous de l'amour; donnez de l'amour à votre âme. Vous le méritez. Vous le valez bien!

Cela signifie qu'il est temps de faire de la croissance et de l'expansion, de créer et d'explorer, d'apprendre! Si vous avez manqué la journée portes ouvertes, ne vous inquiétez pas! Vous pouvez toujours vous inscrire au CMS niveau 1 qui commence le 11 février à 18 h. Accédez à notre page d'inscription et inscrivez-vous maintenant!

OUI! Nous avons un programme de niveau 1 en français cette année!
