We Gathered to celebrate: SOLAR ECLIPSE + NEW MOON in Virgo

September 14, 2015Uncategorized6th source uu maine, new moon ritual, uu pagan, uu pittsfield mainetwinkle

We celebrated another beautiful New Moon ritual at Twinkle’s Place last night. Combined with the partial Solar Eclipse, the new moon in Virgo gave us opportunity to align our inner and outer understandings about how we are both able to be strong individuals as well as valuable inter-connected partners with those closest to us in family and community. From major shifts in healing (physical, emotional & karmic), beginning (enriching, nourishing endeavors) and completing patterns (habits that may have us negatively locked), including most especially our relationships, this New Moon truly signified an opportunity to mindfully evolve toward our highest good, and the good of all in our lives.

For more detailed information, we defer to the Mystic Mamma and her cadre of experts:

A Magical Service

August 31, 2015Uncategorizedbeautiful dreamer, jason curran, jason curran musician maine, uu alchemy, uu pittsfield, uu pittsfield mainetwinkle

Usually I leave my “blogging” on my blog, but thought to share it here too.

This month I led a service at the UU Church in Pittsfield accompanied by an astonishing musician: Jason Curran. Not only is his music amazing, but the selections he chooses to compliment a service seem magical. If you ever see a listing for a performance of his, gift yourself by attending.

Gratitude:

A Very Special Thank You to Jason Curran for his beautiful music and co-creative spirit. Felt like spiritual alchemy in ways I simply cannot explain and will not try at this time. Other than to say, he brought tears to my eyes with his rendition of “Beautiful Dreamer” – he could not have known how special that song is to me, and more so now.

New Moon in Leo 2015

August 7, 2015Blog, Promotions for Friends and Colleagues, Retreatsnew moon central maine, uu pittsfield mainetwinkle

The New Moon in Leo is an expansive time. Here at Twinkle’s Place our home feels open in ways it has not in many many months. Perhaps because we have one less resident temporarily at this time and the energy is moving with more ease. Perhaps too because new and better things are on the horizon.

Mystic Mamma contributors tell us it is a time of sparkling creativity!

And to that we can certainly claim true, for this summer itself has been filled with such creativity and the closer we come to the new moon, the more powerful and vibrant the feeling is. Transitional times are upon us all.

Gather with us on August 14th to welcome the New Moon phases of creativity in its fullest manifestation. With the clear energy of our home, allow yourself to embrace your divinity and call in your deepest desires.

New Moon in July

Cleo is eagerly anticipating our monthly New Moon ritual.

July’s New Moon is in Cancer. A perfect time for accessing our inner most desires, communicating our feelings, and honoring our emotions.

Dive deep as you plant seeds of creation for your highest good, cultivating self-love and compassion.

With several of our regular participants leaving town for vacations later this week and others in our community have various conflicting plans, we have decided to have this month’s New Moon gathering a day early:

Join us Wednesday July 15th, 7pm at Twinkle’s Place.

Twinkle will lead the ritual as we honor this sacred time of the month and prepare for what is next on our journeys.

New Moon Gatherings

February 10, 2015Uncategorized6th source uu maine, beloved community maine, earth-centered maine, new moon central maine, sacred space maine, uu pagan, uu pittsfield mainetwinkle

The New Moon is a time of new beginnings, a monthly re-start, and an opportunity to take stock of the directions you wish to focus your energies on. During the dark of the moon, the moon generates energy that is creative, receptive and strong. Taking the time in solitude -or in a group- to center yourself, feel your connection with the Earth and the Universe as you enter into sacred space is a key to peace of mind and a purposeful life.

On the date of Each Full Moon “Twinkle” hosts a gathering in her home for friends who wish to celebrate with her…
