    Come and be part of the Caravan of the Beautiful!

    “At Night, We Can See the Stars…”

    March 19th – 22nd, 2026 at Rising Tide in Sarasota

    During dark times, dark nights of the soul, we return to our spiritual community, practices, and most true inner self to re-light constellations of guidance.

    We must find again our stars, those guides in the night that help steer the course to navigate with purpose, direction, confidence and grace in the Caravan of the Beautiful.

    This Equinox we come together to sing, dance, chant, pray, play, write, move, and laugh together Toward the One, on this pathless path of the heart we call life.

    Join us on a transformative gathering where music, poetry, movement, and meditation become the caravan that carries us deeper into the heart of the Beautiful.

    Guided by the timeless wisdom of tradition, we will gather in sacred circle to:

    • Explore devotional chants and zikr
    • Embody presence through movement & dance
    • Reflect with meditation, poetry and writing
    • Sit in silence in nature and under the stars

    This is an invitation to step beyond words and enter a shared journey of love, surrender, and beauty — an oasis for the soul.

    “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” — Rumi

    Featuring:

    • Concert & Vocal Journey with HuDost
    • Dances of Universal Peace with Maitreya Jon Stevens & Friends
    • Healing Practices, Prayers, Zikrs & Songs with Jessica Bromby

    Women’s Meditation Circle of SW Florida

    2026 Schedule
    Jan. 16th at RTI & Zoom: Heart Focused Consciousness guided meditation with Patricia Cockerill accompanied by Sound Healer Irene Hayden on singing bowls.
    Much More on Jan 16th with Patricia Cockerill & Jo Mooy:
    The Women’s Meditation Circle began on the full moon of January 14, 2006 with 8 women. At its peak, it was as large as 500 women. Jo and Patricia released some of daily activities of running it in 2025 so Christine Abbey stepped up to lead the group. Because of her efforts, we’ve just completed our 20th year serving this formidable Circle.
    20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY VIDEO: We’ll show the highlights of the Circle over the last 20 years before the start of the meditation. Most everyone is in it so try to come see this.
    MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: An announcement regarding the Meditation Circle will be made that night. We’ll discuss the future of the Circle and how we see it evolving. Hope you’ll join us at Rising Tide for this important session.
    – Jo Mooy
