🌘YOGA FOR THE NEW MOON 🌒 ::: live event! ✨

this piece was first published as a Digest, 17 August 2020

Hi loves, hope you're all as well as can be. Is it just me that feels weird around new and full moons?! I mean, i know, this time is unprecedented, as if we don’t need reminding...but cue mega insomnia, strange feels, extra spidey-senses and wavering energy is real!

The energy can be powerful and potent around this time. For some of us, it can amplify feelings. Emotions. Mental processes (hello!). Dreams. Understandable, cause it’s all energy baybee! (can never-not say it like this, just me?)

And i don’t know about you, but in those moments approaching 4pm when wondering “whatever did i even get done today, i feel so zonked out!”, instead of feeling wack about it, we get to explore what’s going on in a compassionate and holistic way. When things are brought to the surface, we have an opportunity to check in with ourselves and be with what’s there. Disclaimer that it’s not always easy or possible but, it’s a practice! And after decades of pushing past and through resistance, i find it’s been more helpful to be real and honest with the energy we’re working with first. Then choosing how to proceed. Whatever might be on the plate.

So the new moon is symbolic of beginnings, it’s the start of the lunar cycle, and metaphorically, it can be a great time to take a moment to reflect, honour and align with cosmic energy!

Perhaps there’s something specific you want to start - a new project, a new commitment, a new way of being, a new way of talking to yourself (nicely with encouragement for all your brilliant beans), a new way of supporting loved ones, a new way of connecting…this can be a great time to go inward and plant seeds. Or raise your glass of biodynamic wine, whatever you’re into (baybee).

The new moon gives us the opportunity to recreate ourselves and remember who we are. What we want. How we want to show up.

And Tuesday 18 August, we will explore that in a yoga + writing workshop for the new moon via Zoom.

You can expect a lunar flow, with time spent moving slow and really giving ourselves space to be free with this space. There will be time for journaling too. And although everything is connected, there’ll be focus on the hips and creating space in the low back, so i really hope the session will help you find a place to land and settle and create the foundations for this new cycle that’s upon us!

Get it here: 🎵 Hiya Moon

PPS (when i see "pps" written, i imagine i’m calling a cat stranger friend, anyone else?!) all members of the Patreon community now have a new benefit - the members area called Tender Meadow 🌾🌺🌿🦙🦋🦒 (working title) an old-school-new-school internet community from back in the day. I'm having such a lovely time in there with magnificent inspiring humans!
Read about it here, and if you feel like it, join us! It’s kind of like a collaborative disco-banquet-library that rejects time-space limitations and pressures, so if that kind of thing makes you excited, you are so welcome!
PPPS (see? Puss-puss! 🐾) Seriously though, i’m listening to that moon playlist and it’s like, ahhhhh, so nostalgic...i’m in my feelings 💜Expect some of these at tomorrow's event!
PPPPS (sorry this is the last psspspspp 🐈) I’ll pop back in later this week (in the Digest) with a reminder about Sunday as a few of you requested it so...will be short n sweet tho. You are appreciated. And i want to once again thank everyone who joins these community events online. And supports my work. And shares things i make. And sends me mail. I can't express how much it means....💛

🌘However you’re spending your new moon, i hope it’s magical! 🌒
