We have moved - our new home

2009-08-17T17:13:00.000-07:00

We will be meeting next Friday, Aug 21 - 6:45pm at our new home: Friends Meeting House 890 57th St, Sacramento 95819. We look forward to seeing you there, should you care to join us, Please RSVP!

We are sooo happy in our new meeting place! It is beautiful and peaceful and it supports our energy well. We look forward to you joining us here. One of the things that happened in a serendipitous/blessing way was that this place occurred to us and was readily available Except one month every quarter. It turns out those months are the months of the soltices and equinoxes. Dena has been leading ceremony celebrating the equinoxes and solstices at a magical place down in Elk Grove called Piccolo Pastures with Karene Piccolo, so we are going to meet there on our night on those months only. The specific dates are listed on the flyer below. Men and children are invited to those meetings in Elk Grove (only) and we will have a potluck before ceremony, so we meet at 5:30 or 6pm on those evenings.

July Truly is the Month of Change

2009-06-29T20:07:00.000-07:00

Greetings all Women of the Circle
It seems that July 2009 is truly the month of Change. We always seem to experience that which the circle is focused on each month. We had no idea what that would mean for us this month. WE ARE MOVING!! We are in the process of firming up plans for a new spot for us to meet. We are so very grateful to East West Books for graciously housing our monthly circle for most of the past 2 1/2 years. The store has announced that they are closing July 3. This is a sad thing for most all of us. In the meantime, we have every intention of continuing the circle and our monthly meetings. Please check back, or even better yet, sign up for our e-letter. We will let you know as soon as we have firmly established our new home.
Namasté,
the Grandmothers of the Wisdom Circle
