Full Moon Goddess Hike

Elizabeth Huebner, who launched the Bee Divine: Goddess Embodiment Meetup last month with the first of a monthly retreat-style gathering for women who want to explore the many facets of the sacred feminine through sacred circle, embodiment practices and ceremony, leads a silent hike in the Montecito foothills this weekend to take the practice outdoors. All women are invited to join with their sisters for a silent hike beginning at the Tangerine Falls Trail Head up to a spot with picturesque views to gather in sacred circle, sing, dance, howl and greet the full moon as it rises. Wear sturdy hiking shoes, bring warm clothes, water and a headlamp or flashlight for the return hike. Meet at the East Mountain Drive trailhead at 4 pm on Saturday, February 8, for the free event.

Also for ladies only: an afternoon of sisterhood spiritual connection from the Santa Barbara Spiritual Growth Meetup Group. Kelsey Cordle hosts the gathering at Butterfly Beach in Montecito from 1-2 pm on Thursday, February 6, for meditation, oracle or tarot card pulls, journaling, perhaps theme based or following whatever arises in the moment.
