Thank you all for a beautiful Full Moon Celebration on the 1st of December. So many beautiful, new and old friends, gathered around the fire to release intentions and pay homage to all that is full in ones life. I am in constant gratitude for you all, everyday and in every way. The next Full Moon Celebration is one of potent energy. The 13th moon, a blue moon which is the second moon in a month. And it is on the last day of the calender year. December 31st, New Years Eve at 630pm. I will post the focus of our celebration(the richness of Being), tomorrow and look forward to sharing oneness, once again.

In perfect love and in perfect trust. ~Areeya

December Full Moon Celebration Schedule

2009-11-09T23:32:00.000-08:00

Good evening Golden Sands Family. The time is drawing near to another full moon celebration of gratitude and intention setting. December's Full Moon Celebration will be on the 1st at 630pm(the exact time falls upon us at 230am on the 2ND). We will gather once again at the most gracious Carol Ann's home at 630pm on Dec. 1st for a heartwarming energy share and a delicious Veggie potluck to follow immediately after the ritual.

December's focus shall be:

Relighting the fire within our Soul amidst the deep night.

Winter shall soon be upon us and the days have grown short and cold. What a perfect time to bask in the warmth and love from each other to rekindle the spirit. We will also share the 5Th operation of the Sun: Fermentation. This alchemical operation involves scraping off or removing that bitterness that can rise up from within, amidst the reforming of our selves. Even though we can enjoy feeling more complete in our beings, there is still room to speak our truth though it may seem out of character or unusual. Communication is key to facilitating balanced relations in all aspects, be it personal, employment related or socially.

Honored and Humbled

2009-11-03T00:18:00.000-08:00

What a truly, honored and humbling sensation, when you have such beautiful spirits come together to share in sacred space. Tonight's full moon was so enriched with beauty and filled with music, song, dance and magickal intention . We honored our ancestors and those that guide us.Recalling the Spark of the Heart, which is each of us. So remember the spark of the heart when sharing with others. Perhaps see those whom guide and foster us through this Long Deep Night of reflection. Joyous Samhain!

The love that we share is the spark that lights the flame our community and guides us through the deep night in perfect love and perfect trust.***

What a beautiful October Full Moon we Celebrated

2009-10-06T11:42:00.000-07:00

Thank you all for making this October's Full Moon Celebration truly heartwarming. I felt the love and fullness of your hearts overflowing through your eyes. As we cast our intentions into the fire, we honored that which is full and rich in our lives. As we rattled and danced around the fire, we also ventured into the 3rd operation of the Sun, Separation. That Alchemical operation that encourages us to cut away that which keeps our spirits from soaring ever higher. And so as we cast those intentions so did we burn away that which we no longer need for our growth, allowing new space to be filled with love and light. Bright and joyous Blessings to you all. I look forward to dancing with you in sacred play once again on November 2cnd for another glorious Full Moon Celebration.

2009-10-02T00:03:00.000-07:00

Another beautiful full moon approaches, and we shall gather once again on Oct 4Th to honor the moon, and in turn honor our selves. We will usher in the darker cooler parts of the year, and acknowledge that space that we can see as a reflection in our selves. We will give thanks to the third operation of the Sun, "Separation". That time of separating ourselves from that which is no longer necessary for our growth. Brightest Blessings and Namaste:)

Along comes another Full moon Celebration Folks! Mark your calenders for Sept 4th 2009. Themes this ritual shall be the Harvest Moon, the Autumnal Equinox and the Alchemical stage of Dissolution. We will focus on both the work and joy that comes with harvesting those intentions we planted, the balance of day and night this equinox and how it affect us, as well as, cleansing and dissolving the Prima Materia that is our core Self. So bring your drums and rattles, an open mind and heart, and a tasty vegetarian dish or your favorite libation and desert, if it is your will. For we shall dance and sing and share our sacred play in the Temple of the Golden Sands, a bountiful potluck will follow immediately after the ritual. Bright and Joyous Blessings all, and Namaste.

Lammas Celebration 2009

2009-08-03T01:43:00.000-07:00

How beautiful was the DMC Lammas Celebration. The burning of the Wickerman was phenomenal. This was a buffet of ritual theater. Anyone from the Golden Sands have anything to mention. Likes, dislikes? Anything you would like to see at our Celebrations?

Hand Percussion Please:)

2009-07-29T01:24:00.000-07:00

Okay folks I would love to see some hand percussion become a regular enhancement to our celebrations. I will bring a frame drum and some hand shakers:)
