Stone Soup Community Circles- The Age of Aquarius

Join us for this month's Stone Soup Community Circle!

Note the change in venue. Due to the closure of our beloved Haven, this circle will be held in the downstairs community room at Tandem Squared Rolled Ice Cream and Coffee Cafe in Old Town Fort Collins, as we celebrate community spaces to continue our spiritual endeavors.

*Circle will be an inclusive, supportive, non-judgmental place in order to practice the high sensation of being seen. All are welcome and all expressions will be celebrated!

Hello 2025! The Wheel of the Year has shifted. Our circles, which once coincided with the Full Moons, now align with New Moon energy. It's easy to view our inner and outer worlds with the hopeful freshness of new possibilities.

Welcome to the Age of Aquarius! This fixed air sign values individual freedom and agency above all else. In 2025, we get the first full taste of Pluto's long awaited transit into Aquarius, where it will be for the next 19 years. Pluto, the Lord of Destiny, truth-at-all-costs, in the revolutionary sign of non-conformity! It gets us thinking- WHAT ELSE IS POSSIBLE??? This era will surely shake up long held, yet outdated social structures and belief systems- hopefully in order to rebuild things better.

This month's circle arrives at the threshold of the Aquarius New Moon, with the Sun, Moon, and Mercury joining Pluto in Aquarius. This energy bursts with individual expression! Venus and retrograde Mars, both in water signs, will add a depth of intuitive emotional connection to our relationships and creative endeavors.

We also stand at the cusp of the Lunar New Year, entering a Wood Snake Year on Wednesday, January 29th. The Year of the Snake ushers in a time of wisdom, adaptability, and transformation. Coincidentally, the parallel squiggly lines of the Aquarian glyph don't represent water as commonly believed. They represent serpents- symbols of knowledge! This year creates a perfect foundation for the Pluto in Aquarius transition to begin.

So what can we do? Find our individual voices and follow our hearts. Seek out the whispering threads of desire that light up body and soul. Don't be afraid of standing out from the crowd. Share your deepest expressions of self- in community!

Stone Soup Community Circles offer the perfect opportunity to celebrate the shining truths in each of us. <3

Here's how it works:

Each month will have a different theme, based on the above astrological weather.

Come to circle prepared to share something with the group- it can be anything- a poem you wrote, piece of artwork, a craft, baked treats, homemade incense, oracle cards, a meditation, a dream, a story, psychic synchronicities, dance, movement, breathwork, teas, tinctures, wear a costume- literally ANYTHING that your heart wants to express, related to the Astro weather. Then, you vulnerably share this in our circle. Everyone gets a chance to contribute their own "ingredient," so each circle will be different, every circle will be fun!

(**Note, we are not making literal soup. Usually. :))

We know- it's incredibly scary to put yourself out there and share part of your innermost self. The high sensations that come with showing up this way are part of the medicine- part of the magick we will create together! This is how you manifest your desires. Face your fears, and do it anyway!

(Disclaimer: We understand that you may not be ready/able to prepare and share EVERY circle. Sometimes it's appropriate to show up and say "All I have to contribute today is my presence and my witnessing." But still show up! If it becomes a habit and people are consistently showing up without contributing, admins will gently reach out with encouragement to participate greater.)
