This full moon is amplified in brightness and proximity, making it a supermoon. It arrives with the energy of nesting and stability, through the Taurus archetype and that of the Beaver representing retreating to one’s nest in preparation for winter.

Thursday, November 28 | Thanksgiving  

The complexity of this holiday compels us to hold practices of gratitude alongside our acknowledgements of grief for past and present injustices.  

Put in Practice: Hold this balance by tuning into the themes presented in our Monthly Invocation, to maintain gratitude amidst it all. 

November Invocation: Gratitude 

The first words and the last

Will be thank you, thank you, thank you

For all that I am 

For all that I have

For all that is

For all that was

For all that will be

Even amidst heartbreak, loss, grief

Even amidst uncertainty, chaos, fear

Even amidst the world and her tears

I remember, what a gift is this breath

I remember, what a gift is my heart

I remember, what a gift it is to be alive

I remember, these gifts and more …

( Presence your personal gratitudes here )

May my gratitude not be drowned out by the pain inside or out

But amplified and magnified, to transform all 

May my gratitude be an antidote to the hopelessness that pervades

May my gratitude be our hope 

Thank you, thank you, thank you
