House of Moons


Waxing and Waning Ceremony
with Panoka Walker, Schantell Schmidt- Taylor and Cici Pfeifer
Saturday evening at the amphitheater


In this Ceremony We honor those entering puberty in the transition from Maiden to Mother, and entering menopause in the transition from Mother to Crone.  The ceremony is for all who identify as women/feminine who have not had a ceremony to celebrate them, and it is not necessary to be at any specific age or stage to participate. All who wish to honor them are invited to share in the celebration.
This event will take place Saturday evening down by the lake, at the Amphitheater, lit by firelight.
