For centuries many cultures have followed the phases of the moon, aligning routines and rituals with the cyclical energies. The Full Moon is known to be nourishing, powerful and symbolic of the divine feminine. It is a time to create space, get quiet, reflect and celebrate! During our full moon circle, we align ourselves with these energies.

Please join us for the first full moon of 2021, the Wolf Moon. Our Full Moon Circle will take place in our beautiful forested setting in Freeport. We will meet next to the parking area to take a short hike (less than 0.2 miles, easy, mostly flat) to our campfire location. Enjoy some herbal tea and snuggle up by the fire as we offer a discussion of full moon energy, guided meditation, some Qi gong movements, and a fire burning ceremony. We will also have the chance to write down and, if desired, share aloud what we want to release, and what we want to bring into our lives. Please bring your own cup for tea. Please be sure to dress warmly. For ages 16 and up.

Items to bring:

Cup/mug for tea

Journal or notebook and pen/pencil

Flashlight or headlamp

Wear layers/warm clothing

Blanket (optional)

Folding chair (optional - stump seating is available)

Cost: $20
