The lunar cycle has long been known by the ancients to not only rule the tides and influence the female menstrual cycle, but also to create energies that enable us humans to move through cycles of our being and our evolution. The full moon is associated with:
- bringing issues from darkness to light
- the beginning of the period of releasing (energies, thought patterns, emotions, behaviours, beliefs & attitudes)
- more extreme mood swings
This full moon rises on the evening of 29th June - so this class takes places as the full moon is still waxing. It is known as the STRAWBERRY MOON and it is so called because it associated with the time of year when the strawberries - amongst other berries - are ripe for the picking. Just as many of the berry plants are ready to release their fruits, so we too can use this time to let go & observe what has come to fruition or grown. So this full moon calls for us to take stock of what we have achieved and how we have grown as well as release that which has become heavy or is ready for the next cycle of our being. Releases may be emotional, mental, spiritual or physical. Releases may include dark or heavy emotions that have run their course or that hold us back, old thought patterns, values, beliefs, behaviours, attachments, fears, expectations, judgments, physical tensions, stiffness, inability to move forward, find motivation or energy or access our own inner fire and creativity... all of this can be released. It can also allow us to release dreams that have not worked out or old versions of ourselves. This is all for you to feel into during the class through all the various practices.
You can use this session to explore and discover parts of yourself, your mind, your patterns, you can consciously or subconsciously release. Importantly, you can also appreciate and celebrate your achievements, growth, realisations and understanding just as you need. You may go deep into spaces of the mind, body & spirit, illuminated by the full moon, but you may also simply enjoy the experience of releasing inhibitions and allowing yourself to celebrate: celebrate yourself as an imperfectly perfect human, celebrate the community that join you, celebrate the summer energy, celebrate nature's gifts with full gratitude. Access your true nature!
During this class, we begin by sharing in a vegan ceremonial cacao drink (for those who wish to indulge), with or without the calming influence of reishi mushroom powder, and the sweetening influence of maple syrup (all optional!) to:
- bring warmth to the body
- engage in a mindful practice of drinking the cacao, engaging all the senses in the present moment
- open the heart energies to aid the process of self-discovery, release, gratitude & celebration
- honour the full moon and invite its energies to support our inner work and that of the group
We will then contemplate what is coming to light in our lives for recognition, realisation, release and celebration, and share our thoughts about where we're currently at physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually (as much or as little as participants wish to share), journalling for those who would like to.
We will engage in a simple, embodied movement practice to begin & and really feel into the process of self-discovery release. We will move, tap and sweep the body, shake and dance to let go of inhibitions and really celebrate ourselves and our group energy and growth to this point. The evening will finish with a summer-themed full moon visualisation to bring further realisations, transformation, relaxation, celebration and healing, as needed.
Thick yoga mats, meditation cushions (or chairs) & blankets are available to borrow.
Oatmilk ceremonial cacao with or without reishi mushroom powder, is included in the ticket price.
