In ancient sacred traditions, ceremonies were considered a necessary spiritual element for personal growth and healing of the earth and also encouraged social gatherings and building of community.

Full Moon

At the full Moon, the energy builds. There’s an active, outgoing aspect to it. All of nature grows and is more vital at the full Moon. This surge allows you to take action on behalf of those new Moon intentions you set two week prior. A full Moon ritual might involve taking one solid step, with a symbolic action. Full Moon can be a powerful time to release, cast off, unburden yourself, purge, etc. You celebrate your emergence by stepping out of an old skin, identity, behavior, attitude, relationship. The ritual helps you to mark this inner transformation in a symbolic way.

New Moon

New moon ceremonies have to do with creation, manifestation, birth, and rebirth. At the New Moon, you can go into the dark and be symbolically reborn. New Moon rituals help
you summon your whole Self, and in that magic moment, commit to intentions.

Equinox and Solstice

Many cultures the world over perform solstice and equinox ceremonies. An utterly astounding array of ancient cultures built their greatest architectures — tombs, temples, cairns and sacred observatories — so that they aligned with the solstices and equinoxes. Solstice marks the increase or decrease in the sun’s daylight hours and at equinox, day and night come into balance. Ancient cultures used these astrological markers to govern important rituals, especially around agriculture.

During these seasonal ceremonies, we recall the power of ritual in aligning ourselves with the cyclical nature of life. We strive to be in harmony with the Earth, sowing our seeds of intention in Springtime; celebrating growth, friendship and love in the light of Summer; offering thanks for the abundance in Autumn; and in Winter, we prepare ourselves to journey to the dark, reflective stillness within.
