We are a group of free spirits recovering from various addictions. We share our experience, strength and hope with each other in the context of our spirituality and our chosen path of recovery. Some of us are members of traditional 12 Step groups, some of us practice the Circle Sanctuary 12 Steps, some of us practice the 12 Steps for Pagans Steps, and some of us practice other programs for recovery. We gather in this circle to share about how our spiritual path and our recovery work in our lives. As a spiritually inclusive group, we respect all forms of spirituality. As free spirits, we practice a life-affirming, nature-based spirituality, celebrating the cycle of the seasons and the web of life.

Gather 'round as we celebrate the first harvest festival of the year, Lammas. During this festival, we toast to Danu, the primordial Irish mother goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann, and Lugh, Irish god of light, skill, and craftsmanship. We will partake of the harvest by sharing an offering of bread and sacrificing a portion in our community fire. We will dance and sing around the fire while giving thanks for our own fecundity, the fecundity of the earth, the light that burns within and without, and the skill and labor of our hands, heads, and hearts. This ritual is offered by the members of the Order of the World Tree, a coven of the Assembly of the Sacred Wheel, a syncretic Wiccan Tradition dedicated to the health of the earth and to all her children in whatever forms they may take.
Grandmothers hold a special place in most of our hearts, they are the bearer of wisdom, of hugs and of family traditions. This workshop and short ritual will look at the pantheon of Crones and grandmother mythos. Feel free to bring a photo or keepsake of a beloved grandmother with you to hold during the ritual.
