The Moon, she dances

Like the Waves, like the Waves

On the Shore

Making Circles, making Cirlces

Like the Waves, Like the Waves

On the Shore

"Circles on Waves" 

This will also be our time to rehearse for the High Tide festival. So please bring your headressess and full costume.
Even though we are in Spring with unpredictable weather, Cosy Corner has been beautifully sheltered and crisp. 

 













Turn up around 7.00pm and help make the seaweed circle with found natural objects on the beach that the Sea has sent to us. Some people like to bring a picnic and just watch, listen and still be a part of it and absorb the beautiful surrounds. Other people like to join in the drumming circle using a variety of instruments; some like to just dance and move. Everyone brings a wish for the future. 

Around Sunset we stop drumming, dancing and start our ritual by placing our wishes in Mother Earth and bath ourselves in a beautiful sound scape using our voices. 

This is facilitated by Jacqui or one of the Wildmovers. We ground our wishes in the Earth and then send them off to manifest. Followed by whatever unfolds on the night......sometimes it is wild drumming, fire twirling, acrobatics (mostly by the children) or sometimes it is peaceful, serene and only voices.

It can finish quickly or go on until after midnight. It is different every month and never the same.

Call Jacqui if you would like to lead us in song, poetry, music, movement or dance
Thanks Lyndelle Jefferys and Lloydi-Lloyd for your beautiful photographs
