What it is

Moon circles are gatherings—often held at the new or full moon—dedicated to reflection, intention-setting, and connecting with lunar energy. They create a container for community, ritual, and honoring the cycles of nature and self.

Origins & Traditions

Many ancient cultures timed their rituals, plantings, and celebrations by the moon. Today, moon circles draw from these traditions, using the moon’s phases as a guide for planting intentions, celebrating growth, and releasing what no longer serves.

How it works

The moon’s energy shifts with its cycle—new moons invite planting seeds and setting intentions, while full moons bring illumination and release. Moon circles often weave in meditation, journaling, sharing, and symbolic rituals aligned with the phase.

Benefits

When to use it

At each new and full moon, or during significant lunar events like eclipses and supermoons.

What to expect

Circles may include candlelight, guided meditation, oracle cards, journaling, or collective sharing. The pace is usually gentle and grounding, with time for personal reflection and group connection.

A note on respect & intention

Enter the circle with an open heart and a willingness to listen—both to yourself and to others. The moon reflects the light of the sun; in circle, we reflect light for one another.
