Sat 27th Feb

 

6:30pm - 7:30pm (Sat 27th Feb, India time).

Full Moon Ceremony and Story Workshop.

Tune into the cycles of the moon!  When we

attune with the moon cycles, it becomes easier

to plan and create our lives.

     The new moon gives us the opportunity to

start anew every month.  It is a perfect time to

stop, go within, and connect to our dreams

and goals.  We can make new moon wishes,

set intentions, and sow these seeds to grow

with the waxing moon.

     The full moon is the culmination of the lunar

cycle, and emotions may be high at this time. 

When the moon is at its brightest it can shed

light on our shadow aspect and help us to see

what is out of balance.  It is a powerful time for

inner work, to look within and see what needs

to be released with the wanning moon to

promote healing and wellbeing.

     Jennifer will help us connect with the energy

of the full moon, in Virgo, through a story and

a visualization exercise.
