Moon Ceremony
Description
In alignment with the lunar calendar, Maria is reviving the ceremonial space at Kindred with deeper intention, presence, and cultivation. These gatherings, honoring the natural energetic shifts of each month, occur on the full or new moon. Dates for 2025 - New Moon - October 21: Setting Intentions - Full Moon - November 7: Harvesting Wisdom - New Moon - November 20: Embracing Change - Full Moon - December 5: Celebrating Growth - New Moon - December 19: Manifesting Dreams Healing unfolds within community. Each ceremony is thoughtfully crafted to match the collective energy of the group. Guided by sound, a carefully curated playlist anchors the yoga practice, accessible to all bodies and levels. Maria integrates breathwork, somatic release, hands-on assists, Thai massage, and Reiki—practices rooted in Indigenous and Eastern traditions—to support participants in deeply connecting with their bodies. These ceremonies further integrate creative expression through art practices, allowing participants to process and ground emotions arising from movement. Art channels the subconscious, promoting healing through flow and play. Together, we enter altered states of awareness, creating pathways for healing, renewal, and perspective. In this supportive community space, shared energy enhances the depth of the experience. Each moon ceremony is guided by a theme aligned with seasonal cycles, inviting intention, ritual, and practice as tools for collective healing. We gather in circles to remember the sacredness of coming together, a tradition that is grounding and liberating. Ceremony becomes a refuge from the outside world's demands, promoting authenticity and quiet rebellion. The evening's flow is co-created as each person's presence shapes the circle's energy. Maria serves as the circle's doula, holding space with steadiness and care, ensuring participants feel safe to journey inward and explore their personal practices while being anchored in community. Space is limited for this intimate container, accommodating only eight participants.
