New Moon in Leo: Returning to Your Inner Light
Seasonal Herbal Tea • Solar Plant Ritual • Somatic Movement • Intention Setting • Sharing Circle • Restorative Yoga • Yoga Nidra • Sound Immersion
Join me for the New Moon in Leo for an evening of warmth, reflection, connection, and deep rest.
As the Moon enters its darkest phase, we are invited to pause, turn inward, and plant seeds for the cycle ahead. Ruled by the Sun, Leo reminds us that our light doesn't come from striving or proving—it shines most brightly when we live from a place of authenticity, courage, and an open heart.
This gathering is inspired by the wisdom of the solar plants—those that thrive in the warmth of the sun and remind us of our own innate capacity to grow towards the light. Together, we'll explore the gifts of sunflower, calendula, and sweet orange—each offering its own gentle medicine for the season.
Like the sunflower, we are invited to orient ourselves towards what nourishes us, trusting our inner compass and remembering that growth follows where we place our attention.
Like calendula, we honour our resilience. Even through life's changing seasons, we carry an incredible capacity to heal, soften, and bloom again.
Like sweet orange, we reconnect with joy, creativity, and play—remembering that delight is not something to be earned but something we are designed to experience.
Together we'll create a nurturing space to slow down, reconnect with the wisdom of nature, and remember the light that has always lived inside us.
We'll begin by gathering in circle with a handcrafted seasonal herbal infusion, thoughtfully blended with solar botanicals, rose, and foraged plants to calm the nervous system and invite deep presence. As we sip our tea, we'll connect with the plants through story, ritual, and quiet reflection.
Through gentle somatic movement and conscious breath, we'll release tension and arrive fully in the body before exploring the themes of the Leo New Moon through intention setting and reflective journalling. This is an opportunity to listen inward and give space to what is ready to grow over the coming lunar cycle.
Our sharing circle offers a compassionate space to be seen, heard, and held in community, reminding us that authentic expression begins with feeling safe enough to simply be ourselves.
As the evening unfolds, we'll move into restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, and an immersive sound bath, allowing the body and mind to settle into deep rest. Held by stillness and sound, you'll be invited to integrate your intentions and reconnect with your own inner warmth and vitality.
