The Full Moon is the most Sacred
and Powerful time for the Divine Feminine Spirit to co-create healing and
releasing of all that no longer serves. The time between the Full Moon and the
New Moon is the most potent for releasing any negativity or contrasting
energies. During each Full Moon Celebration we will honor a specific Divine
Feminine ~ Goddess Energy or Archetype and explore how Her Essence works
through us and learn to RECEIVE.
Tuesday,
Oct. 28th New Moon Meditation & Ceremony for Men & Women. The time between the New Moon and the Full Moon is the most powerful
time for MANIFESTATION and drawing in the positive and NEW into your life. The
New Moon Energies help you attract growth, prosperity, love and renewal. When
manifesting we use our feminine energies to receive through “intuition” and our
masculine energies to “go outward” and focus on our goals and dreams… to bring
them to fruition.
