Throughout all ages and cultures, traditional circle dances were used to honor the divine, heal, affirm connections to the earth and each other, build community and celebrate rites of passage and life transitions. Many of the dances originated in European cultures embodying a worldview that honored the earth, the body, and the divine feminine.
The dances are joyful, meditative, mournful, full of beauty, longing, life, and celebration!
This Circle is for you if you want to:
*Align with earth-based European Indigenous traditional women's dances
* Feel the embrace of ancient embodied wisdom
*Deepen your connection to a lineage of women’s traditions
*Gain a greater understanding of yourself
*Experience personal healing and nourish your body, mind, and soul
*Create an embodied women’s community
*Celebrate the relationship between sacred plants and dance
*Align yourself more deeply with the cosmos' rhythms and cycles
*Be a dancing constellation
This time of year in Slavic traditions its Gromnica in honor of Holy Mother of the Thunder.
It includes lighting the ‘thunder candles’ in honor of the goddess, and in order to enrapture warmth for the second half of winter. Dziewanna (means Mullein-a sacred herb in slavic traditions), as the goddess of wilderness, is asked for protection during the cold months (especially from the freezing weather or from attack of wild animals like the wolves), and guidance during winter travels.
The Slavic feast of Dziewanna Gromniczna would be analogous to the pagan Gaelic feast of Imbolc.
