Notes
Most circles these days still do not work with the darkness inevitable within all circles. This dance opens a safe and easy way to begin to address this.
ìKnow Thyselfî is the famous dictum, but so few of us will move into and embrace the darker sides of ourselves. No journey will ever be complete until this action is engaged.
Light the candles in the center of the circle. Extinguish all other lights. Dance with the shadows on the ceiling. Embrace your full self.  It is the dark earth which is humus rich and ripe for growing fragrant flowers and nutritious food.  It is the darkness of a night sky which so frames the wonder and beauty of the endless stars.
