Every season brings with it new changes, challenges, and initiations that test our commitments and capacity to meet life in the here and now with courage. Life is our spiritual training ground. These initiations are like energetic portals  mirrored to us in the archetypal journey of the zodiac. As part of earth's evolutionary body, each of us will feel cosmic shifts in both very personal and cultural ways. Orienting to moon rhythms supports you to drop into this undercurrent, and in doing so, bring greater awareness to larger themes and patterns playing out in the microcosm of your life.

The moon is ruler of the tides which includes your psychic, intuitive and emotional currents. When we work with the energy of the moon we are working in the dark, instinctive realm; that which is felt but not necessarily seen. Lunar wisdom invites you to drop into the watery realms of animal knowing; cultivate intuitive modes of perception; and nurture curiosity toward how you are shaping and being shaped by life's shifting currents.

On the full moon we actively explore, give voice to and honor the feeling content coming up in our lives through creative expression, movement, sharing, writing and other forms of embodied practice. The intention of this time is to both give and receive nourishing presence and support from one another; to share our learnings and integrations; and to notice the threads of connection that weave us together as we journey toward through life's unfolding.

ORIENTING TO THE MOON SUPPORTS YOU TO...

• nurture the dark, interior, emotional, intuitive, sensing aspect of self.

• recognize themes and patterns playing out in your life.
• create a consistence practice of tuning into your emotional landscape.
