New & Full Moon Circle Gatherings

Join in Circle to honour and work with the cycles of the Moon.

NEXT SESSION: TBA

Since the dawn of time, the moon has always held a special place for most cultures - revered for its rhythms - those cycles can help us to connect with the rhythm of our own lives. While every lunar cycle is different, depending on the sign of the New and Full Moon and other planetary influences, they all share a common pattern and rhythm. When you pay attention to the Moon's phases, you'll notice a big difference in how much more easily you're able to create what you want to release and manifest in your life. Observing the natural cycles of the universe and routinely setting personal goals and intentions has a way of keeping us grounded and connected to our lives. It is an act that allows for individual growth and insight, cultivating our awareness and bringing us closer to ourselves and to one another.

During Moon Circle Gatherings we focus on where the Moon is in its cycle and how that corresponds with our current situations.. You experience a beautiful afternoon of conversation, meditation, Shamanic Medicine Drum cleansing, ritual, reflective journaling, gentle Restorative Yoga followed by a restful Savasana with a Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) Sound Journey.

“We built a mudbrick monastery and people come to it and pick up something that is imparted to them from the place …It’s got nothing to do with bricks and mortar …it was made from the earth … this place will live on whatever happens because love formed it” Sculptor of Spirit: Saint Angela of Stroud.

Sacred Sound Bath & Yoga Nidra

These workshops are just for you. A time and space to relax, de-stress and nourish your mind, body and soul.

NEXT SOUND BATH: TBA

Upon arriving, choose an Oracle Card from a range of decks to receive guidance and insight, before having a brief chat and imbibing Sacred Cacao or herbal tea together.

You are then invited to relax comfortably in Savasana (meditative posture) and experience the energetic healing of ten Crystal Singing Bowls, Shamanic Medicine Drum and other instruments as you are guided through a divine journey of meditation, finishing with a Gong Bath.

Each instrument serves a different purpose. Crystal bowls are tuned to the notes of our main energy centers. The sounds permeate our system through the Chakras, returning it back to harmony. The Shamanic Medicine Drum is played over the body, cleansing the auric field and tuning into your personal medicine song to release emotional blockages, induce deep relaxation and reduce stress. Drumming tunes the brain into alpha brain wave states, which in turn reduces stress levels, and allows for healing to occur.. The gong helps to release tension in the body and stimulates the glandular and nervous system.

Sound healing balances and clears the mind, and leads to a renewed sense of purpose, well-being, calm, and happiness.
