Description

Monthly Full Moon Celebrations occur on the Saturday closest to the Full Moon at 7:30pm. Public Welcome! Basics about CUUPS: Circles in the Woods CUUPS is a committee of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tampa (UUCT). While CUUPS members actively participate in various activities, CUUPS welcomes and sponsors other local covens and pagan groups as guests to present full moon celebration rituals and other pagan related activities. All are welcome who come in Perfect Love and Perfect Trust! About August's Full Moon Celebration: Exordium Coven will present August's full moon celebration. Exordium's ritual reflects the First Harvest and the Honoring of Lugh that in times past was a 4 week celebration spanning the last two weeks of July and the first two weeks of August. This festival culminated at the August Full Moon when the God and Goddess renewed their marriage vows. Reopening Info: We are very excited to be back at the Dome after being away for so long due to COVID. However, reopening does come with some new ways of operating safely. The following are guidelines issued by the RSC Committee of UU Tampa which we will be following: Masks are required indoors for all individuals at this time. You must RSVP with your contact information to reserve your spot. We are limited to 50 participants at this time. If you choose not to RSVP and still come, if we are out of space, you will not be able to attend ritual. We request contact information for contact tracing purposes only. All of your information will be kept confidential. No food or drink is allowed in the building. (So we will not be celebrating our traditional wine and loaf.) No children under the age of 12 are currently permitted on the property. There is no singing by participants. So, our closing song will be sung by a soloist. When you arrive, please park every-other spot. While these are the ones that affect our rituals the MOST, the full list of guidelines can be found here: https://uutampa.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Revised-guidelines-6-1-2021.pdf These restrictions are temporary and are changing as the church moves forward.
