These Elemental Circles are opportunities to gather in small space held with reverence by practitioners of ritual. Each month on Sunday closest to the full moon we open this space at 7pm ET for community practice and nourishment.

5 Context of Practice Format and Lineage
We see the value of deepening our commitment to the land and the elements – growing out of ancestral reclamation and remembering with indigenous teachings about how to resist cultural separation from the elements of life, and from years of weekly anti-racist embodiment practice
5 Group Agreements
- We receive this opportunity to energetically connect with the elements of Fire, Earth, Water, and Air, opening to the potential for building relationship with the essences of life
- We speak from our own experiences and encourage full participation
- We understand we are each here to nourish our own desire for community and healing journey, not to request or offer advice or feedback to anyone during sharing time
- We support and contribute to the sacredness of the space with our heart intention and emotional sobriety
- We respect confidentiality and do not name another person’s small group details without express permission (we can refer to details without naming the person)
- We are here to be heard in relation to our growing kinship with nature and the elements, not to seek validation
- We witness each other’s emergence in a state of respect and grace
