Traditionally, women used to gather on the New Moon to welcome in a new cycle and call in any intentions for the coming month. It was a chance to gather in the darkness and connect with their wombs.
Our intention for this New Moon circle is to create a safe space for biological men to attune with the cycles of the moon and be vulnerable while women facilitators hold space for their process and feelings. A place for men to be witnessed, held, and celebrated by women and the feminine aspect. This sacred circle will be accompanied by plant medicines, Mambé and Ambil. Mambé is an indigenous word for the ground coca leaf and Ambil is a paste made from Mapacho tobacco, an original tobacco varietal from the Amazon. Mambé embodies the feminine energy and Ambil embodies the masculine. When used together, these medicines work in synergy to open the throat and mind as a channel for the heart. This allows words and expression to flow from the heart for the greater good of all.
Right now, men and masculinity are in peril. The emotional climate that men face is full of stress and shame. The social script that men have been socialized with and forced to follow was totally flipped in the past 5 years without any path toward reconciliation, healing and integration. The old paradigm is dissolving, but where does this leave the modern man? Now, more than ever, men need to be held and witnessed by women and the feminine aspect. We believe it is only through witnessing, empathy, compassion and coming together may we as a species weather this turbulent evolutional storm.
