Full Moon Circle supporting a family from Ukraine This month Rachel Larraine will be creating sacred space at Twelve Sense Retreat on Wednesday March 16th 5:30pm on the roof top deck. All funds collected will be going to support a family from Ukraine. Anke, the owner of Twelve Senses has parents and her sister living in Germany where they have taken in a total of 12 refugees. We are raising money to support them. You can read the story written by one of these refugees 16 year old Agnia Kolldezeva at the end of this listing. The circle details: We will start with a sound bath, then move into a releasing ritual and discovering the power of the Full Moon. We will be serving wine and non-alcoholic beverages along with small bites, you are also welcome to bring your own food if you wish.  What to bring: Warm clothing since we are sitting outside a blanket is a great idea tooA tarot or oracle deck if you have one (I will pull for the collective for those that do not have a deck)Journal & pen16 year old Agnia Kolldezevas story: "thought this may be would stop in one day. Then I was sitting the my apartment on the 5th floor trying to relax, then there was very loud sound near my house and I thought it was the end of my life. I put my hands over my head it was so loud. I was crying and the only thing that helped me was that one of my friends was saying that this was a famous pilot, called “the ghost of Kiev” who struck more than 30 Russian fighter pilots. Then another explosion. We ran away from our house and heard a lot of sirens. We ran to our school, but it has no basement. So we stayed there for 5 days and slept min the sports area. One time we went back to the apartment and we packed a few belongings. My friend had a little house, so we drove there. But there were also more explosions in Kiev and in the little town. My dad was talking to the main man of two formed military teams. He said they had no walkie talkies, but my dad had 5 walkie talkies which they exchanged with us or 20 liters of gas.There was lots of stress around Kiev, most large roads had been taken by Russians. We were very scared, because the town we were in was wanted by the Russians, because it connects Kiev and Odessa. We decided on the 4th day that we may be need to go to western Ukraine. We found Lidya, Sasha’s mom. I wanted him to take my cat, because I was planning to leave. But he said they are also leaving. So we decided to go all together in 4 cars, also taking a few handicapped children with us. On the first day we went 500 km. The road was very dangerous and also because of robbers and murderers taking advantage of the situation. Also Russians agents have been forced to go to the Moldavian borders. The first portion of the trip should have only taken 5 hours, but it took 20 hours. We only had 20 liters of gas and there were lots of traffic jams. We found a gas station in a village with a lot of people in line. It’s a rule in the Ukraine in the moment you can only buy 15 liters of gas at a time. But we found a woman who gave us some more. Then we found a church school where we were able to sleep. Near the Moldavian border, we found more gas. This border crossing was only 3 hours. Then we came to a Waldorf School in Kishinev, Moldavia where we were able to stay overnight. Then we drove to the Romanian border and waited in line 10 hours to cross the border in another 3 hours. We then were only 3 cards left, as my mom’s husband and my step dad had to stay in the Ukraine. Men between 18 and 60 years old have to stay to help fight the Russian army. We crossed there border near Yassi, where some kind people booked us two nights in a hotel room. We then continued through Moldavia, through Deva. We stayed in a fantastic hotel run by 3 woman, called Villa Missy. They are also friends of the Waldorf group. Then we arrived to Vienna, Austria. Our friend in Switzerland helped us to get there. My grandparents are still in a hot spot, near Russia and Belarus. My grandfather is 8o years old. He took his bike the other day to bring a bottle of milk to his sister, who is also 80 years old. He saw hundreds of Russian tanks and weapons in the center of his village. He fell of his bike and a soldier with a gun requested his phone, Which barely even has any service. He threw it on the ground and destroyed it. Saying “be happy I did not kill you”. They live in a village near Desna. It has railway to Russia and Belarus, thats why the Russians want the village. They were building their own bridges because they are afraid the other bridges will blow up on them. There is no way t stop this process. The town now has been on and off taken between Russians and Ukrainians. The continental part of Ukraine is now taken over by Russians. There are lots of cases where Russians are roping young girls and woman and then kill them. Gomel which is the biggest military airport is the hottest spot of the battles. They are trying to take it. It is so scary to hear about that. I am so scared and feel guilty that I am not there. My family has discussed the situation a month before. Her teacher had asked what the worst case scenario would be. We thought may be a revolution, but never imagined being bombed form the sky. I feel proud for those young man who are in the territories of defense. They have also made many check points during the first days of war. Now they are bombing everything. There is now way to get out now, it is very scary. Also lots of shootings at cars. They also have lots of Russian officers from Chechnya, they call them “saviors”. In Romania a woman at the reception was asking me how I was coping, I I could do was cry. I am not sure. There had been 2 wars also in Chechnya with years of bombing with the Russians. Now they are thinking that the Ukrainians are rivals. The Russians are still taking about an activist form the 192o’es, it became a noun. It was an activist and how dream was to gain independence from Russia. His name is “Bandera”. It now has become a noun. The group had dinner at my parents house and 6 spent the night, 3 were able to stay in a local hotel my dad organized them. Their journey ow continued omg to Switzerland and then we are hoping they can find places to settle for a bit. Our circle will be lead by Rachel Larraine. Website Instagram Patreon
