What is a Bean Gealach, you might ask? Great question! The group name was inspired by the Irish words for woman (bean, pronounced ban) and moon (gealach, pronounced roughly like ghee-yal-uch).
I am so excited about our new circle and community. The Bean Gealach Circle, with monthly online gatherings via Zoom and downloadable resources, is for the Wise Womxn who follow an Earth-based or goddess spirituality path, or are curious about it.
This circle is both collaborative and interactive. I invite commentary and questions in the monthly shared resorces (in the course platform in Ruzuku), and invite Circle members to suggest monthly themes.
Each month we meet virtually via Zoom for a lively discussion of the monthly themes, our spirituality, our practices, and to experience live journeys, meditations or rites.
Join us to (re)awaken your essence and manifest it in your way of being and in your practice.
>> Here's a peek into our themes for June to August <<
Join now for access to upcoming modules + the May and June modules!
JUNE
Our theme is the Mother archetypes, goddesses and shadows. In our June 22 gathering, receive the Moon Mná Mother Rites of Danu, the second in our Blood Mysteries series the Goddess Within. (see the Moon Mná acknowledgement below) |
JUL Y
We explore the world of Fairy in Irish Celtic lore —the Sídhe (pronounced "she"), old Irish for the "Shining Ones" — and connect with them through the Moon Mná Faerie Rites, awakening us to their mischief, magic and the gifts. (see the Moon Mná acknowledgement below) |
AUGUST
I invited Circle members to suggest the theme for our August gathering and lore, and they did not disappoint! On the August Full Moon, we will gather to create relationship with the goddess Diana / Artemis (and Macha!) in a virtual grove, connect to the energies of the goddess who calls to you, find your own symbols for her qualities within you . . . and perhaps find a new sacred tool for your rituals. We will journey, create ritual, and share our experiences. |
Themes for future months
What would you like to learn or experience? This Circle is collaborative and responsive to your needs. Throughout the year, I will invite participants to suggest a theme. Perhaps we will choose your pick! In coming months, plans include working wih Síla na Gig, receiving the Crone Rites, connecting with an Cailleach, a Journey to your Energetic Cauldrons, Crafting & Storytelling, Visioning . . . and more! |
Acknowledgement
I am a Moon Mná Women's Circle Facilitator, certified by MoonMna.ie in Dublin, Ireland.
In the first year of this Bean Gealach Circle, some of the rites I share will come from my work as a Moon Mna Women's Circle Facilitator, such as the Mother Rites of Danu and the Fairy Rites noted above. I am both honoured and grateful to be certified as a facilitator. These rites were gifted to my Moon Mná Mentor, Dr. Karen Ward, and she has gifted them to us facilitators around the world, who now offer them to women everywhere.
Thank you Karen for all the beautiful and heart-felt Moon Mná rites!
