This month we welcome back to the circle, the incredible healer, Kelly Nicholson. Kelly is a healer in every sense of the word, holding sacred space for everyone she meets. She has dedicated her life to being a mirror, reflecting those in her presence the Light that lies within us all. She is an intuitive artist channeling healing through the vibrations of color and sound. Creating harmony within while weaving the colorful threads of Light, we all are. Her desire is to activate your own inner alchemist and empower you to live the limitless lives we were meant to live.
Sound healing is a healing modality consisting of a wide range of instruments that when played directly affect the mental, physical, emotional, and energetic bodies. Yes, it is the sound that you hear but it is the vibrations that you feel that work their magic. We are all energy. Vibrating at different frequencies. Many different things in life, stress, anxiety and the busy day-to-day stuff can bring our frequency off balance. So what sound healing does is bring you back to your center. Back into balance and create a harmony within that you then take with you, back into your daily life.
After our check-in (how are you, how was your month), we will enjoy a meditative sound bath led by Kelly, followed by a shared meal together and a discussion on this month’s topic, Rituals & Routines. We will close the circle together releasing energies and giving thanks.
Some questions to ponder before our gathering:
Do you have a certain ritual/routine that you love to perform?
Are these rituals/routines done on a daily or weekly basis?
Do you find that you need to change your rituals/routines as they become stagnant?
Do you find that your life flows easier with a ritual/routine?
Are you a free-flowing woman who doesn't need a ritual or routine?

September Goddess: Tellus Mater or Terra Mater ("Mother Earth"), the ancient Roman earth goddess
Mother Earth personified, Terra is one of the oldest – if not the oldest Roman deities we know of. Ancient yet actively worshipped throughout Rome’s history, Terra stands at the basis of the entire Roman pantheon and religion. Terra Mater’s themes are earth, ecology, promises, abundance, prosperity, and fertility. Her symbols are the globe, soil, and grain. In regional stories, she gave birth to humans, which is why bodies are returned to the soil at death – so they can be reborn from Her womb anew.
Make a special cake for the Earth Mother out of natural fertilizers. Take this to a natural setting (don’t forget the candle). Light the candle and wish for the earth’s renewal, then blow it out, remove the candle, and bury your gift to Terra in the soil, where it can begin manifesting your good wishes!
While you’re outside, pick up a pinch of soil, a stone, or any natural object that strikes your eye and keep it close. This is a part of Terra, and it will maintain her power for abundance wherever you go. It will also help you stay close to the Earth Mother and honor the living spirit of earth in word and deed.
