The Flourish Circle at The Moon Rooms is held bi-monthly, every second Friday. Please check the events page for upcoming dates. Dates for special circles, like this one, are listed seperately.

In these circles we work together in ceremony to connect with our guides and teachers of the light, the spirits of the four kingdoms and the four elements. We shamanic journey together to connect with our guides for healing for ourselves, the Earth and the ancestors. You do not need experience of shamanic journeying as you will be guided throughout.

In this Samhain special ceremony, we create a sacred space to call in our spirit guides and teachers to shamanically journey together to meet the ancestors, those who have went before us who still influence our lives. Samhain is traditionally the time to connect with the worlds beyond and we lovingly work with the guides of the light. (Important note: This is shamanic work where we work together in ceremony to journey to the guides - it is not mediumship communication with the dead). 

This special circle is 2 hours, from 7 - 9pm. All other fortnightly circles are 1hr 30min.

Please note: All are welcome to the circle however drop-in is not available - please secure your place at each circle by booking your tickets online. Block booking in advance is also available to secure your place at upcoming circles.

PROVIDED

• Yoga mats, blankets and cushions to support your head are available at the venue but you are free to bring your own. Some of the circle will be lying on the floor - shamanic journeying is often done lying on the floor - however journeying can also be done seated, whichever is most comfortable for you, and a mat, cushion and blanket are useful.

 ​ THINGS TO BRING

• Your email/paper ticket to the event
• The venue is well heated but on cold evenings warm clothing and a blanket are useful to have to hand.  
• With some circle gatherings we may be working outdoors but this is weather dependent. If planned, the individual event will state this and suitable clothing is recommended.

DURING AND AFTER THE CIRCLE

Messages

Sometimes during these events, there are personal spiritual messages intended for one or more of the participants - sometimes it is a message for all, sometimes it is for one particular participant and sometimes they don't come at all. If a message is intended, I have no control over what this may be or what this may mean*. Please indicate at ticket checkout whether you would like or not to receive these should they happen and be guided for you.

*Please note that I cannot expand on the these messages. I politely request that you refrain from enquiring for further information or explanation - the best interpretation is your own.

During

Be sure to drink plenty of water. If you feel a little light headed, eating a light snack is useful for grounding. 

Departure

After our gathering, it is important to exit the studio directly after the space is closed. We exit the space in the same ceremonial manner as we enter it, with reverence, respect and the intention that it is for the purpose of our circle work only. Please move to the communal area for hugs (optional!), gathering your things and cheery cheerios. Try to get as much rest as you can afterwards and avoid alcohol or recreational substances. 

Questions

I politely request that any questions relating to your own individual and personal healing be directed via a telephone consultation or a one to one appointment as I am unable to answer these at events.
