Some creative rituals I am leaning into around this New Moon. This New Moon is heavily influenced with themes of ego deflation, releasing our stories, popping the bubble, setting free where we have imprisoned ourselves, taking personal responsibility for our own harms, and extricating how we play the victim. This is tricky, when we very well may be the victim in truth, but what is the story, the thing we are clinging to that is not serving us or collective liberation at this point?

If you feel a bit like you're being slowly but consistently needled, or like a snake that needs to have it's skin sloughed off, you're probably doing the work that needs to happen right now.

I hope that you are so done with your own bullshit, and you feel at a complete standstill, like no way you go is actually going to change anything. Cause that's where change can come in. And we need to change if we want to make change. We can't expect to keep organizing, making, activating, supporting in the same ways we have been. So let's go.

Writing a "ritual poem" and sharing it or releasing it in some way:

I chose a topic I think about a lot, that I'm fairly well versed in, that I have experience with, that really gets me upset in my gut. I wrote a poem. You don't have to write a poem. You could write a song. You could draw. You could collage. You could put a bunch of words down on paper that seem to make no sense. But whatever you put down needs to express your rage. The injustices you see. Find a way to connect it to the Earth, to the land, and to your body. Take the whole month to work on this "ritual poem", really go back to it and edit it, but stay with it don't change the base of what it is. Then find a way to share it with a human, an animal, a plant, the sky. Sit with the vulnerability, the raw-ness, and what happens when you don't get the reception you may want.

Slough off your skin

Mix salt, oil, herbs and flowers together and spend 30 minutes in the tub without water, scrubbing your body. Every crevice you can reach and feels safe to scrub with salt. Imagine what you are releasing.

Standing meditation

Find a spot (I like the window in the sun) set a timer for 5 minutes and stand in stillness. Do not move as much as possible. Notice what arises for you.

Bone broth

I literally buy the roasted chickens from the store and when I've eaten all the meat, I put the carcass in a pot with water and simmer it all day. Then I use that broth the next few days to make a soup. I literally feel it in my gut.

Old book magic

Go back to old books, ones you've read already and look for explorations, tasks, ideas, exercises that are suggested in them. Try them out, play with them.

That's all I have for you this month. We're gonna need all the strength we can call in for the rest of this year and the next. I hope you can find some here with me.
