The Full Moon is a time for reflection and setting intentions for the month to come. Full moon is a time of completion and culmination when the Earth is bathed in moonlight and our seeds are anchored and seen, celebrating small (or big) successes. The moon has always been present in world mythology and her waxing and waning forms patterns in our lives: new crescent to full to old crescent, as we go from maiden to mother to crone. Her cycles have been called “Earth’s breath reflected in the sky”.
Within these sessions we'll have the chance to share our reflections, and set intentions. Each Full Moon has a different name, we'll discuss the symbolism behind this, and how we can take the energy of this specific full moon into our lives. Within each session there will be a themed Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation meditation), which enables us to turn more fully toward the symbolism of the moon.
In October, the moon is a "Super Hunter Moon" so named as this time of year is associated with hunting, feasting and festivities. This is due to be the biggest and brightest moon of 2024. It arrives in the sign of Aries and can be a time for us to focus on new beginnings - perhaps it's a time for new projects to be started, or a time to take decisive action.
We will also turn towards the New Moon to come: a New moon happens at the beginning of the lunar cycle when the sun does not reflect solar light onto the earth. This is a time to turn inwards, to rest and dream. This circle group will look at the next new moon intentions for 1st November in the sign of Scorpio - a time for us to express what we need.
Susie will hold these sessions.
