Dark Moon

Welcome to your Opening Ceremony- Dark Moon Ritual & Embodiment Practise.

For this session you will need:

  • Quiet place around the size of a yoga mat (There will be times where you are invited to play music so if this can be turned up to a reasonable level without concern this is ideal)

  • Warm cup of tea or glass of water

  • Cushion, block, bolster or folded towel to sit on (you may choose to lay down though)

  • Candle and lighter/ matches

  • Tissues

  • Blanket

  • Mood lighting

  • Heat proof bowl

  • Sage or Palo Santo

  • Journal/ Paper and pen

Ceremony

There is an option in the recording to play some music, here is a spotify playlist you may like to use.

How great is the still you tube picked for the below….. what a face!

SOMETHING NEW THIS NEW MOON?

If you prefer to explore a different practice, may I suggest you clear a space to make an Altar for this lunar cycle.

An Altar is a gentle anchor- a space to return to, reflect in, and reconnect with what matters most.  It can hold symbols of your intentions, your ancestors, your values, or simple a reminder to pause and breathe.

Creating and tending to an altar invites ritual into the everyday, offering grounding, presence and a sense of belonging- both to yourself and something greater.

The Dark moon may be a nice time to clear a space for an Altar that you then build on the new moon. 

Maybe focusing first on clearing the right space and gathering some things for your altar.

If you already have an altar, it may be a nice time to tend to it, dust and clean your altar.
