Full Moon Gathering_ Friday 18th February
Date: Friday, 18th February, 2011
Time: 7.30pm
BYO: drums, guitars, instruments, fire twirling, seat or rug, picnic
Place: Cosy Corner on the Front beach at Torquay, look for the seaweed circle. Park in bottom car park on corner of Esplanade and Bell St or top car park at Point Danger and walk down the cliff. We are under the Moonahs but on the beach.
Bookings: only if you need a drum, otherwise just rock up
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
.
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
